[00:31] because i dont like partitions ^^ [00:32] i always run out of space lol [00:32] asmm, yes [00:32] asmm: use guided partitioning or manual partitioning..

[00:32] @asmm, yeah, you can... I'm doin it as we speak! :D [00:32] asmm -- I dunno about ext3 but I have ntfs and resier on the same drive [00:32] anyone knows how to configured a gadmin openvpn client?? [00:32] What, no.

[00:33] you can also install ubuntu directly onto an NTFS partition [00:33] id like to do so [00:33] scun - no different partitions [00:33] 18:32 < fez> asmm: no, see wubi [00:33] can someone tell me how to shut off the dkms nvidia install that it trys to do on every boot? [00:33] I had to manually install the nvidia drivers [00:33] fez: ORLY? [00:34] Hey, Sorry. :P I know I asked this a couple hours ago, but I had to leave the kbd and was not able to save the response. Here goes: I just installed my system on an ext4 FS, what can I do to prolong my SSDs life? I don't have any swap, and I've already set my cache / temporary folders to point to /dev/shm . Are there any mount options I can use to keep ext4's ssd munching default behaviour at bay? [00:34] thank you fez. [00:34] !wubi [00:34] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [00:34] fez i assume it will ask to dual boot on startup? [00:34] gizmobay: did you uninstall the ubuntu supplied nvidia bits prior to manually installing the newer nvidia driver? [00:34] i mean * os selection [00:34] asmm, I have no tried it, read their web page [00:34] I note that Wubi installs into a file. So the ext3 goodness is all inside a file, not mixed in with the NTFS filesystem proper. [00:34] I thought I did [00:35] i think it runs as an application and not dual boots fez [00:35] does anyone know? [00:35] kchapman: install more ram [00:35] gizmobay: because dkms is usually beneficial.. what exactly is happening. [00:35] asmm, I doubt that [00:35] asmm, although the installer is windows based I believe it runs without an emulation layer [00:35] ih nm fez - You keep Windows as it is, Wubi only adds an extra option to boot into Ubuntu. [00:35] anyone knows how to configured a gadmin openvpn client?? [00:35] wubi runs as an application, the resulting install runs as a dual boot [00:36] It attempts to install 173 something [00:36] I have working 3g internet on my Ubuntu 8.04 - I want to share this connection on my lan. How do I do that (I've looked up ipmasq, and tried finding docs, I've even found a ubuntu how-to: no) [00:36] hi guys what's better than wireshark? and tcpdump? that doesn't have a buffer [00:36] I upgraded to kernel 2.6.30 so I downloaded directly from nvidia [00:36] JanC: not a proper one with real partitions and that, plus wubi can go werid on people [00:36] asmm: It doesn't run as an application. It puts an entry into the Windows bootloader pointing to a program that reads from the filesystem-in-a-file and boots from it. [00:36] phaero, ncat? [00:36] netcat [00:36] gizmobay: uninstall dkms and then look in synaptic for nvidia bits that might still be installed.. [00:36] so it's like dualbooting, only you're running from a file inside a partition, instead of a partition. [00:36] sebsebseb: it's not weirder than a live-CD [00:36] fez, asmm: wubi installs as an application, which uses hard drive space on the ntfs partition as a virtual drive, which it is able to bootstrap into via ntloader [00:37] asmm: Wubi can also go wrong on people, to the extent, where they can't boot up Ubuntu or Windows [00:37] How can I share my ubuntu's 3d connection on my lan [00:37] sebsebseb, 2 days ago someone came in here with big problems with wubi [00:37] im sure wubi will be fine for me. [00:37] thank you. [00:37] if you want to run ubuntu as an application that's also possible BTW [00:37] if it crashes my windows i dont really care [00:37] i dont have any data on my lappie :) [00:37] I can't install more ram, because it's built in. But that's aside from the point: I'm trying to find out how to disable certain features of ext4 that have tradeoffs with writing/rewriting which wears out an ssd [00:37] asmm: fairly unlikely [00:37] OK.. this is strange... first I get the error : [00:37] GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; and now I am not able to start a terminal! [00:38] asmm: also you don't get a real proper file system with Wubi, you do with real partitining, oh and Ext4 is worth it, with a proper kernel and all that, got to wait for 9.10 for that, altough it's optional for 9.04, just a bit hmm, because of the kernel they have and that [00:38] using Ubuntu 9.04 [00:38] asmm: yeah 10 seconds or so boot up :) and really quick shut down, and disk checking [00:38] #remote-exploit [00:38] kchapman: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1178209 [00:39] Any ideas why this is happening/ [00:39] asmm: ,but if you want try 9.04 in Wubi, and then I hope you put 9.10 on for real with proper partitions === Defcon is now known as Guest91689 [00:39] Thankthee, Gnea! :D [00:39] is anyone else experiencing fullscreen flash crash in firefox and is there any way to fix it? [00:39] sebsebseb: the filesystem is proper in wubi. [00:39] Gnea: Ext2 isn't it? [00:39] sebsebseb: uhm, what? ext3 and ext4 are ext2, you know [00:40] I guess you can use whatever filesystem you want in Wubi [00:40] Gnea: Ext4 is better than the previous ones :) as long as a distro has a proper kernel for it and all that [00:40] fat32 [00:40] Gnea: ext3 is backwards compatible with ext2. ext4 isn't necessarily backwards compatible with either. [00:40] thanks, I'll give it a try [00:40] ;) [00:40] I'm going to reboot [00:40] rww: oh? ok. [00:40] i need dock for ubuntu with minimize and maximize effects anyone can help me ? [00:40] I want to share ppp0 to eth0 and have my machine act as a gateway (even without DHCP, it is fine) so ipmasq and dnsmaq? how? [00:40] anyway, I think Wubi uses ext3. It's been a while, though. [00:40] does wubi install a dynamically expanding virtual disk? [00:40] Gnea: actsaully even in 9.04 it's pretty good, it's just people might get issues [00:40] sebsebseb: so ext3 is ext2, but ext4 is ext4 - but, ext4 has to be tuned for SSD's, it seems... that's kind of cool [00:40] UMMM why would anyone recommend wubi? [00:41] Gnea: U are here now ? [00:41] cuz it sucks? [00:41] sebsebseb: that's what the tunign is for [00:41] racha: yes? [00:41] SeaPhor: Because there's some good reasons for using it [00:41] racha: where did we leave off? [00:41] Gnea: u get anything what can help me about my Sound Card ? [00:41] Gnea: tuned for SSD's ??? meaning? [00:41] cant believe ephipany is more stable then firefox..sad [00:41] sebsebseb: see the url i pasted to kchapman [00:41] Flannel: such as? [00:41] Gnea: you can make ext3 (almost?) as "SSD-friendly" as ext4 if you use the appropriate mount options [00:42] JanC: probably [00:42] sebsebseb: Not needing to repartition? I *know* I've been over this with you in the past. [00:42] it's just mostly the writeback delay & stuff like that :P [00:42] Gnea: Anyway i need Something to make my port on sound card like on Windows [00:42] Flannel: maybe [00:42] Gnea: http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/7892/windowsvu.jpg [00:42] racha: oh yeah - did you try pulseaudio yet? [00:42] Gnea: where can i get that ? [00:42] Flannel, i have tried and tried and cannot find one thing useful for it except to further complicate transitioning windows users to linux [00:42] Is it possible to share your ppp0 internet connection with your eth0 connection and setup your machine as a firewall ? [00:43] Flannel: ,but laods of people recommend against Wubi still, with good reasons [00:43] wubi isn't even supported by canonical [00:43] SeaPhor: It's easy to install and doesn't require them to do anything scary. [00:43] sebsebseb: That's fine, this channel does not. [00:43] Gnea: i can find just "PulseAudio Device Chooser" on Add/Remove App. [00:43] racha: it should be on the system already - it's an application layer that interacts with your soundcard drivers to provide support when it doesn't exist, sometimes [00:43] but temporary [00:43] fruitloops: what's ppp0 & what's eth0 ? [00:43] thiebaude: it used to be unoffical, but then as of I think it's 9.04 it becomes offical [00:43] Flannel: yeah I know this channal is also for supporting Wubi === |chrisrio| is now known as chrisrio [00:44] eth0 = your first network card [00:44] thiebaude: 9.04, no I think 8.04 actsaully [00:44] Gnea: And how to start it ? or what i need ?:S [00:44] ppp0 is usually modem or sums [00:44] sebsebseb, someone told me that yesterday [00:44] vpn [00:44] wee [00:44] hey, folks. I'm trying to install pyxfce and the configure script keeps erroring out with libxfce4mcs-client-1.0 missing. I don't see this anywhere in the jaunty repos. Ideas? [00:45] JanC, I am curious about your question. I was just thinking about it.

[00:56] sd32, install the package firefox-3.5, not just "firefox" [00:56] sd32: because the dependencies of some Firefox related packages are set to require Firefox 3.0 instead of 3.5.

[01:04] blip-, any guide should work, ubuntu doesn't do anything weird with umask and gid [01:04] it told me to do this [01:04] Use the "Broken" filter to locate it.

[01:09] shiznebit_, what device are you looking for? [01:10] DJ-Nomad: ^^ [01:10] anyone have any idea why the 9.04 server distro is asking for a disk change at 76% [01:10] oh yeah on more quick question, I have an external hard drive that i used to have a linux distro on, well i reformated it in windows and added a bunch of data in it, then I want to be able to boot windows 7 from it, but when i keep it in it tries to load grub at start up and says grub error 22 is there anyway to delete grub but keep my data? [01:10] wintv HVR 950q [01:10] ahh ok [01:10] Anyone know how to create the mount point the same time you mount a filesystem? Like the way Ubuntu does it when you insert a flashdrive [01:10] How does one get a package from the unsupported repo updated, if not in Jaunty, then at least for Karmic? (Specifically Trac, since the version in Jaunty is not compatible with Python 2.6) [01:11] DJ-Nomad: im not sure if it works [01:11] hoola [01:11] DJ-Nomad: i installed the drivers, which i assumed should work. But tvtime says no device at /dev/video0 [01:11] shiznebit_, have you googled it ,might get valuable info on if it should be seeing it or not [01:11] matrixblue: are you talking about an iso? or a shared folder? [01:11] ahh ok [01:11] yeah iv googled it [01:12] jtownsend90, talking about a regular filesystem like a flash drive [01:12] but too much information scattered everywhere [01:12] shiznebit_, I feel you there [01:12] como estas [01:12] fccf: I don't understand why the manpage of fstab doesn't describe this stuff. What's 'users' for ? Also the dmask and fmask ? thanks [01:12] that would be similar to a virtual drive. [01:12] I google trying to get my phone access to memory card and cannot get it [01:12] been trying for 6 months off and on [01:12] blip- : http://paste.ubuntu.com/269482/ [01:13] wow that sucks [01:13] ok so it detects [01:13] it [01:13] jtownsend90, not sure about that. I just want to have mount create the directory in /media and remove it when it's umounted [01:13] blip-: those options should be explained in the man page of mount [01:13] Anyone? Getting Trac updated to a version that actually -works- with Python 2.6...? [01:13] DJ-Nomad: Bus 001 Device 006: ID 2040:7200 Hauppauge [01:13] zsquareplusc: oohh :) [01:13] but what program should i use to record off of it ?

[01:18] fccf, I found it its a broken package [01:18] sebsebseb, my greatest problem with 9.04 is the ATI drivers (or lack thereof) [01:18] the x in notification told me to run package manager and filter broken [01:18] Im getting a message to manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem, can someone take pitty on a newbe and help me?

What are you ultimately trying to accomplish? [01:20] sebsebseb: one moment accidentally pressed enter :) [01:20] hello, someone know how can i displayed a contact group on finch? [01:20] maybe mark for reinstallation and it might add the dependancies? [01:20] because when i run a bash script [01:20] it say me that no such file or diretorty is [01:20] yeah flannel [01:20] DJ-Nomad: What are you trying to do? [01:20] nineclock: that does not mean that bash needs to be rebuild [01:21] matrix: if you decide that you would like to go virtual later for a more permanent file system then check out that qemu it only takes seconds to make a virtual stoarge space/device [01:21] I got some things all messed up when I unplugged during a update lol [01:21] nineclock: how do you run it? ./script? [01:21] nineclock: which script is it? [01:21] sebsebseb, I'm tempted to just downgrade my version of xorg manually [01:21] matrixblue: probably not a very good idea [01:21] yes ./script [01:21] nineclock: Probably the script came off a PC at one point. Use dos2unix on the script to fix the line endings. [01:21] I need to install the dependancies for that [01:21] sebsebseb, I know [01:21] i have a question, whats the difference between kubuntu-desktop and kde when installing them from regular ubuntu to get kde as a desktop? [01:21] DJ-Nomad: You've downloaded the deb? or what? [01:21] I'll wait for 9.10 [01:21] nineclock: do you have CR+LF as line endings by accident? [01:21] hello, someone know how can i displayed a contact group on finch? [01:21] Dayofswords: kubuntu-desktop installs additional things outside of kde [01:21] flannel I am not sure how it got on here [01:21] matrixblue: thing is 9.10 might not have the magical ATI fixes either hmm [01:21] DJ-Nomad: apt-cache depends package [01:21] DJ-Nomad: Why do you want to download the depends? What will that accomplish? [01:22] nineclock: what is its filename? [01:22] are they good thing? [01:22] nineclock: where is it located? [01:22] linfenix, finch = piding? [01:22] Dayofswords: most likely [01:22] is in /home/otello/ [01:22] linfenix, http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Using%20Finch [01:22] Michalxo: I think finch is the console version [01:22] flannel I dunno I got a error trying to update [01:22] DJ-Nomad: Alright. What error? (pastebin it) [01:22] and from what I have read it is this [01:22] I have 200m video card on hp laptop. if I revert back to an older version of ubuntu will it let me install the ati drivers without giving me the finger and making fun of my hair ?? if so how far back on ubuntu versions do I go?? [01:22] sebsebseb, I'm this close to downloading a Alpha release just to find out. I seriously hope so though [01:23] http://pastebay.com/53554 [01:23] i need a magical operating system damn it....PC LINUX OS!!! lol nah im just kidding but really things are complicated no matter which one you choose. [01:23] theres the one I got when updating [01:23] woodyjlw, yeah. This is what me and sebsebseb are talking about [01:23] Michalxo, yeah finch its to use pidgin by console or terminal [01:23] oh ok [01:23] matrixblue: the alphas hmm, unless your a developer or a tester who can fix loasd of issues them selves, I woudn't recommend the alpha, but maybe when it's beta in your case [01:23] no idea for bash file no such name ? [01:23] DJ-Nomad: Ah. Ok, you've recently added a PPA or something? That's a packaging error === ubuntu is now known as fubuntu [01:24] woodyjlw, 8.10 was working fine for me. I have the same card [01:24] woodyjlw: interesting way to put it, and yes 8.04 [01:24] woodyjlw: 8.04 should be alright [01:24] nineclock: what is the script's filename? [01:24] i recently added the pidgin ppa [01:24] sebsebseb, the only thing keeping me is ext4 [01:24] matrixblue: oh why not downgrade to 8.10 then? it's better than 9.04 in certain ways anyway [01:24] DJ-Nomad: right. One of their packages is packaged incorrectly. You should file a bug with them (well, against their PPA) [01:24] Michalxo, thanks for tha link, i see ovether its so simple [01:24] you dont know this script lastarnes [01:24] matrixblue: ah ha your like me a fan of the Ext4 [01:24] DJ-Nomad : try to reinstall package in synaptic that should solve dependencies [01:24] cool , ill try 8.04 or 8.10... will updates kill it? [01:24] matrixblue: for boot up and that [01:25] and is not the point of the name of script [01:25] im giving this vm one more chance then im switching back to *cries* vista.....i need to get school work done that only works with windows.... [01:25] nineclock: I need to know its actual filename in order to diagnose what is causing the issue [01:25] Flannel, I chose in package manager to reinstall,I am hoping that will satisfy the dependacies [01:25] sebsebseb, ext4 was the reasons I was a Jaunty Alpha tester [01:25] zvacet, lol thanks [01:25] matrixblue: can your computer do sleep? [01:25] matrixblue: will it work in Ubuntu yeah suspend [01:25] name is scritp [01:25] script [01:25] nineclock: 'dos2unix ' should fix it. [01:25] "You need to copy a .rul from the documentation directory into the /etc config and edit the interface name" - ipmasq - there is no documentation directory, there is no /etc config and therefore no interface name. Otherwise the docs are perfect [01:25] DJ-Nomad : np [01:25] sebsebseb, Haven't tried in months but no [01:25] <_Space_Case_> Question? i just installed jaunty on new laptop Toshiba satellite L305. now when i boot the login splash only goes to the 800x600 4x3 resolution after i log in the icons in the task bar both top and bottom on the right get rearanged and some stay at the 800x600 and some move over to the edge of the screen... [01:25] i got it [01:25] s/the docs/that sentence [01:25] nineclock: you need to make sure that the file shows up with ls and that you have the correct case [01:25] DJ-Nomad: there's no dependency issue there. The problem is that a pidgin related package is trying to write to a file that another package owns, which isn't good. (thus, a packaging error) [01:25] nineclock: could you copy&paste the error message (use pastebin if its more than one line, see URL in topic of channel) [01:25] it was sudo locale-gen --purge [01:25] lol [01:25] matrixblue: I had an idea, maybe a bit of a silly one though [01:26] This is the firefox 3.0 error I got after update: http://paste.ubuntu.com/269486/ it seems to be damaged after the requester is dismissed. websites only open is no style mode, the toolbar shortcuts don't appear normally, the firefox log is missing from the top rhs of the screen, and the home button doesn't work [01:26] sebsebseb, I'm listening [01:26] when trying to reinstall that I got the same error [01:26] logo even [01:26] aprilhare: did you restart firefox after it was upgraded? [01:26] hi\ [01:26] i ive got a problem [01:26] http://pastebay.com/53561 [01:26] so anyone else in here have windows 7 yet? [01:26] yeah [01:26] dos2unix not work [01:26] win size 5 [01:26] err [01:27] wish I could get a good driver for 9.04 on the 200m .....will probably be long time before some one has time to get to that i bet... [01:27] speakers not working on UNR [01:27] its pissin me off [01:27] i have to say other than windows 7 being more stable than vista I dont like it, they changed the G.U.I. to much [01:27] woodyjlw, me and sebsebseb are wondering if 9.10 will have it [01:27] matrixblue: in pm this is a bit of a silly idea or is it hmm [01:27] jtownsend90: Try ##windows [01:28] can someone tell me how to un ppa pidgin ? [01:28] jtownsend90: or #ubuntu-offtopic [01:28] I only ppa's it cause yahoo wasn't connecting [01:28] hello [01:28] !of-topic | jtownsend90 [01:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about of-topic [01:28] DJ-Nomad, delete the entry from /etc/apt/sources.list [01:28] need some help [01:28] if i install kubuntu-desktop, then remove, will it be like i didnt even install it? [01:28] Dayofswords: not exactly [01:28] Dayofswords: removing that package won't remove all its dependencies [01:28] matrixblue, from terminal is how I do it ? [01:29] how do I make update-manager run all the time in the taskbar? [01:29] brasero stays on 100% done but cd spins and never says done [01:29] Dayofswords: It will be a lot closer if you "sudo apt-get purge" it instead of remove. [01:29] burn succesfully [01:29] zsquareplusc: yes i restarted firefox [01:29] or go where you said and gedit the text file ? [01:29] DJ-Nomad: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [01:29] i tried to with the alpha and it dosnt yet [01:29] sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [01:29] !gksudo [01:29] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately.

[01:30] aprilhare: maybe some bad plugin? did you try "firefox -safe-mode"? [01:30] matrixblue: gksu for graphical programs [01:30] jtownsend90: :) [01:30] matrixblue, thanks that nano scared me [01:30] lol] [01:30] jtownsend90: yeah and there isn't much you can do about that really, since closed source === nifty is now known as niftybnc [01:30] zsquareplusc: no - no bad plugins [01:31] Flannel, he asked for a terminal command [01:31] ahh figured it out..Im just gonna run ff 3.5.3 off a folder on my desktop and not install it..works just fine [01:31] I tryed creating a boot flash drive with the alternate cd. It boots but then I get a (syslinux) prompt asking for the kernel. Something's wrong, I think. [01:31] matrixblue: gksu is a terminal command [01:31] Flannel, I stand corrected then [01:31] It says that Firefox is the newest version and it is not. I have 3.0 and NOT 3.5.

[01:47] seidos: a regular pgup works for me [01:47] steven__: sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 what's this nonsense about extracting to desktop? [01:47] seidos: then use arrow keys or pgup - hit esc again to exit [01:47] DJ-Nomad: it handles that automatically [01:47] Does a xen domU need hal installed? I'm trying to resolve a boot error concerning the console but the kbd package, but pm-utils requires it and hal in turn requires pm-utils. Am I safe to remove them all?

[01:48] Keelan: key+r again? [01:48] lstarnes: as in you don't believe it's safe to remove them? Or as in you don't believe a domU needs hal? Sorry for the confusing phrasing of my initial question. :) [01:49] zenwryly: as in I don't believe that a domU needs hal [01:49] lstarnes: thanks! [01:49] zenwryly: I haven't personally used xen, but I don't recall seeing anything about hal being required in the documentation for xen [01:50] lstarnes: well my concern is that removing it will break something in ubuntu [01:50] omg [01:50] lstarnes: in the ubuntu guest that is [01:50] this disconnection thing is starting to get annoying [01:50] zenwryly: in that case you may want to keep it [01:50] zenwryly: but the individual domUs don't need hal installed within them [01:51] lstarnes: right, but what all does ubuntu use it for? [01:51] anyway, anyone know how to get out of this zoom mode? [01:51] zenwryly: what virtual environment are you using? [01:51] zenwryly: hardware configuration [01:51] musikgoat: xen [01:51] lstarnes: so that seems like something a VM guess wouldn't need, no? === monteith_afk is now known as monteith [01:51] musikgoat: is that what you mean? === ghost is now known as Guest38462 [01:52] oh, i was going to suggest you make a snapshot, remove hal and if it fails miserably, recover the snapshot, does Xen have snapshot capabilities [01:52] ? [01:52] zenwryly: yes [01:52] zenwryly: if you can handle it manually, then you likely won't need it [01:52] musikgoat: ah, this is on a pretty minimal host [01:52] musikgoat: got no access to such thigns [01:52] ok I found the pidgin ppa in etc/apt/sources.list.d/pidgin.ppa.list [01:52] zenwryly: oh [01:53] omg [01:53] is it safe to go in and delete that [01:53] how do I use the Document Viewer from terminal?

[01:54] DJ-Nomad: i'm not aware of your issue [01:54] windowskey+r [01:54] thanks to the other m named guy for getting me as far as I got [01:54] DJ-Nomad: but that will remove the repository from future updates [01:54] Keelan1: are you using compiz? [01:54] i don't know [01:54] I was just in the wrong place in sources [01:54] :C [01:54] Keelan1: are you using special visual effects? [01:54] musikgoat, but maybe it will stop this error I have [01:55] Keelan1: windows+r sucks, why did i try that :P [01:55] is there a way to ssh -X from windows [01:55] ? [01:55] if I go back to the older pidgin [01:55] dabukalam: putty supports x forwarding, but you will also need an x server such as xming [01:55] dabukalam: yes, using Putty + Xming [01:55] DJ-Nomad: Yeah, you just need to move away from the PPA packages [01:56] AAh... i see, from ubuntu i'm already on x, but windows is confused... [01:56] ok [01:56] Flannel, yeah everytime I have ppa'd I have messed up something [01:56] dabukalam: alternatively use the built in desktop sharing or an extra VNC server. the VNC viewer is easier to use on windows ;-) [01:56] last time was with listen music player [01:56] hi all. i'm on ubuntu hardy server, everytime i enable mod-python, apache2 hangs with a segmentation fault when accessing anything. how can i figure out what is causing this? [01:56] but from another linux distibution i'm fine?

[01:57] How do I remove Firefox 3.0 from my system? I cannot seem to do it [01:57] steven__: you should keep that package if you intend to upgrade ubuntu [01:57] How can I have two network interfaces on two seperate networks configured simultaneously? I have wlan0 connected to the WWW and eth0 connected to a Debian box. If eth0 is up, all traffic goes to it, even if it is destined to the WWW (thus, should be using wlan0) [01:57] steven__: in 9.10 and later it will be replaced with firefox 3.5 [01:57] When is that coming out? I seem to recall every 6 months or something [01:58] steven__: late october [01:58] steven__, I have read that you got to keep 3 so 3.5 works [01:58] steven__: end of october [01:58] steven__: 9.10 = tenth month of the 9th year after 2000 [01:58] namuch: 1) try to enable as much logging as posssible, check teh logfiles (/var/log/apache?) 2) enable core dumps and learn about gdb :/ [01:58] oct 29th [01:58] Alright. I will keep. Thank you guys [01:58] so, no quick solution then huh? [01:58] #name ghost [01:58] namuch: well, did you check the logfiles? [01:59] My Firefox icon on top still directs me to 3.0.14 and I only know how to access 3.5 from CL. How do I replace that icon with 3.5 shortcut? [01:59] DJ-Nomad: if you were talking about Firefox-3.0 you can un-install it and it does not effect 3.5 [01:59] steven__: it's labeled shiretoko in the menus [01:59] yeah, shows normal startup, but then as soon as i access anything, even php, it immediately begins throwing seg faults.. [01:59] IdleOne, thanks I thought i read that you had to keep it === iAreBaboon is now known as blip- [01:59] Is the command line for ubuntu Bash? Or does it have all the um *sh's [01:59] ello? [01:59] K, thanks [01:59] Astine: bash, using ash as /bin/sh [01:59] that's according to the error.log [01:59] Astine: It's bash by default, but you can switch, yes. [01:59] maybe it was that it just would take the other away by installing [01:59] lstarnes: dash you mean [01:59] Ok thanks [02:00] steven__: right click on your FF icon and click properties, then change the icon but if you remove 3.0 you wont have the FF icon to use with 3.5 [02:00] dash is default in ubuntu [02:00] Astine: the majority of linux distributions use bash as the main shell but ash or a variant such as dash is used for scripts [02:00] I only removed the icon for 3.0. Will not touch it otherwise [02:01] But I can get along with just learning bash, correct? [02:01] musikgoat: /bin/sh links to dash, but the login shell is bash [02:01] how can i install 32 bit ff on ubuntu and use both the 32 bit and 64 bit simulaneously? is it just a case of force-architecture, and if so, how will i be able to differentiate between them? [02:01] If I download the the .bin file, what do I do with it? Do I need to do a make install? [02:01] Guest38462: execute [02:01] it [02:01] Pici: interesting... and gnome-terminal uses bash? [02:01] Astine: bash supports far more than just the main features of bourn-like shells [02:01] musikgoat: yes. [02:02] musikgoat, It uses whatever your shell is, yes. [02:02] thanks for the clarification [02:02] musikgoat: most interactive terminals use bash [02:02] it takes less clicks to open ff from a folder on the desktop then when its installed [02:02] doesn't it have to install somewhere? [02:02] How would one go about forcing xorg.conf to be created? (Ubuntu 9.04, x86) [02:02] steven__: you can also set FF-3.5 as default in System>Prefs>Preferred Applications [02:02] Guest38462: yes [02:02] <[R]> does anyone know how to brdige my wlan0 onto my eth0? i dont want to turn my laptop into an AP... i want the opposite [02:02] Guest38462: executing it will take care of that [02:03] last time I tried it just opened with the archive manager [02:03] Guest38462: however, you should first try to find a version specifically for ubuntu [02:03] whats the best way to go from ubuntu 32 bit to 64 bit [02:03] U-b-u-n-t-u: reinstall the 64-bit version [02:03] U-b-u-n-t-u: fresh insta;; [02:03] ll* [02:03] Ah!

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:22] Fair enough! [04:23] When I perform a "check disk", upon booting from the Ubuntu CD, is that checking my hard drive for problems or the disk itself?

[04:25] seidos, this is #ubuntu is it not? [04:25] hentaiNeko: I was not joking [04:25] A storm knocked out my computer during a reboot, is there an easy way to check my hard drive for problems using Ubuntu? (Note: Ubuntu is being run from a CD, not a full install) [04:25] hentaiNeko: he said ubuntu.com [04:25] and I saw [04:25] hentaiNeko: as in http://www.ubuntu.com [04:26] I am there already seidos looking, giving a more direct link to prior releases is better then giving a link like ubuntu.com [04:26] Edz: this I'm not sure of [04:26] !chkdsk [04:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about chkdsk [04:26] Hi. This may sound stupid but I just bought a new sata I drive that I have installed and I was wondering if I can partition it while in Ubuntu and with which tool (disk manager under the system->administration menu but it doesn't let me do anything with the sata drive). I have 3 hard drive, 2 ide and a new one as sata. [04:26] Edz, yes, use fsck to check your hard drive, boot up with your CD and then use fsck to check your HD for errors [04:26] ah fsck as in file system check, cool [04:26] thank you mezquitale [04:27] weeee. [04:27] americas army installed flawlessly [04:27] hentaiNeko: http://ubuntu.cs.utah.edu/releases/ [04:27] LewisSharp, install gparted, it's a lot easier to partition your hard drive using gparted [04:27] legend2440, thanks [04:27] I'll try that right now, thanks :) [04:28] Thank you. =) Is there a specific way to run "fsck"? I've tried typing the characters directly and using various bits of text pulled from the web, unfortunately none seem to be running. [04:28] hentaiNeko: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ [04:28] Edz: I just typed fsck in a terminal, and it executed fsck. not sure if that helps [04:29] IdleOne, appericate it [04:30] i did the same and rcvd: "fsck 1.41.4 (27-Jan-2009)" Does that mean it has run? [04:30] does ubuntu have wget? [04:30] I think if I could do it over again I would have installed 64bit Ubuntu [04:30] !wget [04:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about wget [04:30] hentaiNeko: I have used wget in ubuntu [04:30] sbd use backtrack 4 ? [04:30] ok so it comes with it by default, thanks seidos [04:30] Edz, that is an exercise that you can google, it's somewhere in newsgroups, you just have to figure out how to use fsck, if youre booting up usiing a live CD then you shouldnt have a problem [04:31] whoa [04:31] ho [04:31] *hi [04:31] hentaiNeko: I'm pretty sure it does, if not apt-get install wget [04:31] hentaiNeko, yes, ubuntu should have wget [04:31] yep it got wget [04:31] hentaiNeko: I would recommend the LTS version [04:31] seidos, 8.04? [04:31] hentaiNeko: if I could do it over again, I wouldn't have upgraded to 8.10 and 9.04 [04:32] hentaiNeko: yes [04:32] ok [04:32] I'll download it as well to the others [04:32] hentaiNeko: and if I could do it over again, I would install the 64bit version [04:32] its a 32bit cpu [04:33] hentaiNeko: I found out later my processors were 64bit [04:33] hentaiNeko: thought dualcore processors were 32bit [04:33] seidos, but you can do it all over again, it's all up to you [04:33] Ok, thx Mez. I'll try doing a bit more research tomorrow and see if I can't get it work! [04:33] I'm having some trouble with a new install of Ubuntu on my PC.

[04:34] hey can you install vtiger with like apt-get command? [04:34] seidos, oh you mean yourself [04:34] hentaiNeko: didn't say you did [04:34] hentaiNeko: yes, for myself, didn't know my cpu was 64bit [04:34] yeah sorry np [04:34] mezquitale: why? [04:35] medstudent, try reconfiguring your Graphical User Interface, click on "CTRL-ALT-F1" log in and type this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [04:35] medstudent, what hardware you have, desktop/laptop? brand/model? [04:35] everytime i try to install a gtk theme in openbox it looks very ugly and not what its supposed to look like is there an engine pack i can install or something [04:36] seidos, so you can test what distro and which version works best for you, i tried 8.04 and jaunty and 8.10 64 bit version plays best with my machine [04:36] SeaPhor, mezquitale: it's a Dell desktop, Pentium 4, circa late 2002 early 2003 [04:36] medstudent, ATI? Nvidia? Intel? [04:36] Is it possible to log into another computer via ssh, start a program, and leave it running after logging out of the ssh session? [04:36] medstudent, try what mezquitale suggested [04:36] I can login but I can't do anything afterwards. My desktop doesn't load. I can't run terminal or anything. [04:37] Bookman: yes [04:37] medstudent, you need to configure your xserver, it should be configured for VGA with default resolution, from then you could configure your graphics card with your monitor and change the resolution [04:37] medstudent, CTRL+ALT+F1 wont get a virtual terminal? [04:37] ok... but I can see the login screen just fine [04:37] medstudent, right now ubuntu should be configured by default for VGA with a default resolution [04:38] Bookman: now let me try it :) [04:38] SeaPhor can I hit that at the login screen? [04:38] medstudent, yes [04:38] medstudent, log in first then type what I told you to type [04:38] medstudent : boot the live cd and fix the resolution [04:38] right now it's just a brown screen [04:38] seidos: mine is a gui app. Just to make things more complicated. [04:38] medstudent, dont boot the live CD, if you use the live CD when you boot up using your hard drive the changes will not be saved to your hard drive [04:39] mezquitale, after I login, it's just a blank brown screen. there's nothing. I can move my mouse but it doesn't respond to input. [04:39] mezquitale: ah, interesting point. I installed when 8.04 was newest version. now I kind of need the laptop to get work down. editing my novel. http://www.tinyurl.com/m4arfd === voidmage-away is now known as voidmage [04:39] mezquitale, it's after a fresh install [04:39] Everytime I start my computer, I enter my username and then the password, but for some reason, everytime i enter the password, it freezes. [04:39] does apt-get work for vtiger? [04:39] I can move my mouse and everything, but once i typed in my password and press enter, it doesn't do anything [04:39] medstudent, so everything is installed then? you can boot up your machine and all you see is a login prompt? [04:39] I was able to boot into the Live CD fine. mezquitale SeaPhor [04:39] Has this ever happened to anyone here? [04:39] sdfadfsadfsasdfa, try choosing a different session... [04:40] what do u mean by that gwildor? [04:40] sdfadfsadfsasdfa, on the login screen, it says session.....pick a different one [04:40] mezquitale, yes it installed without error. Then I rebooted, got a login, which I was able to do just fine. Sound card works, screen looks great, then after login nada [04:40] Yes sor [04:40] Imma try that right now [04:40] brb [04:41] mezquitale, SeaPhor? [04:42] medstudent, press "CTRL-ALT-F1" , you can try F1-F12, F7 is graphical user interface, let me know what happens when you press one of those key combinations, you should see a login prompt [04:42] mezquitale it doesn't respond [04:42] medstudent, during the "brown screen", is there keyboard response? like caps-lock, num-lock etc? [04:43] SeaPhor, I'm rebooting again. just a sec [04:43] medstudent, was your machine working fine with windows?? [04:43] yes, no problems [04:43] ok, I have the login screen [04:43] I can type my name fine [04:44] I have a problem. After logging in, the desktop comes up but without the menu bar. I have a mouse cursor, and I have wallpaper and ctrl + alt + delete works. The "Help" button on the "restart the computer" menu brings up the help window but without the title bar. But that's all I can get to. Alt + F2 doesn't work. Has anyone else run into anything like this? [04:44] medstudent, what did you do that you now have a login screen? [04:44] I have options in the corner [04:44] I rebooted [04:44] I can always get the login screen upon reboot [04:44] it's just afterwards that my desktop doesn't load [04:45] Logomachist, yes, there's a fix to that one, google it [04:45] whats that program called that automatically installs .debs [04:45] mezquitale SeaPhor, ok I hit CTRL ALT F1 and got a terminal [04:45] kudi: double click the deb [04:45] (at login) [04:45] but it isn't formatted properly. huge font [04:45] IdleOne: i use openbox [04:45] medstudent, this will reconfigure your xserver: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [04:46] hy [04:46] kudi: in a terminal you can type dkpg -i file-name.deb [04:46] medstudent, login first then type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [04:46] gnome no backtrak 4 ? [04:46] ok, I CAN'T do anything after I login! [04:46] yes or no ? [04:46] that's where it stops [04:46] just a brown screen [04:46] Mezquitale, do you remember anything about what the solution is? I googled it earlier today, and a few solutions were proposed but I didn't think any of them particularly fit my problem. [04:47] wasn't there someone in here asking about a custom keymapping? [04:47] medstudent: login at the terminal prompt in ctrl-alt-F1 [04:47] Logomachist, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=837984 [04:47] medstudent, he means, At the terminal at ctrl+alt+f1 login THERE, then do the sudo ... [04:47] ok [04:47] it's really sluggish....as in it takes seconds before one letter appears. and the font is huge [04:48] im baaaack [04:48] medstudent, that's because your video card and monitor are not correctly configured [04:48] ok I'm trying ot put in my login info [04:48] medstudent: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg should fix that [04:49] hey is there possb;y anyone tonight who can help me?

[04:50] no, im back in gnome [04:50] SeaPhor, that is also another option that he could try if youre willing to walk him through it === ubuntu is now known as Janiee [04:51] mezquitale SeaPhor, I'm trying to login but it's not straightforward...it says "Ubuntu 8.10 name-desktop tty1" [04:51] mezquitale, its never worked for me, [04:51] medstudent: you dont see Login? [04:51] ok now asking for login... [04:52] it's taking 1-2 min between lines loading... [04:52] medstudent, yes, thats a "virtual terminal" - TTY-1 or ctrl+alt+F1 [04:52] when it asks for password you wont see any * but type it and hit enter [04:52] what about login? will you see characters for my name? [04:52] yes [04:52] ok I typed it a minute ago and it hasn't appeared [04:53] well I won't but you should :) [04:53] SeaPhor, if it's never worked for you then dont mention that option, it's worked for me when I installed a xubuntu on a laptop without a cd-rom [04:53] medstudent, for name-yes, password-NO [04:53] I'll wait it out [04:53] the login screen (normal) is really snappy [04:53] i guess i'll just keep using thunar for now and do a clean install when karmic is released [04:54] hey guys, none of my media players witll play .avi or .mov anymore.... i added codecs to be able to play .wmv and since then i can't play the other formats. can anyone help? (i've tried to play with mplayer, movie player, and vlc) [04:54] medstudent, how much memory do you have in your machine? [04:54] ive been dist-upgrading since feisty, something was bound to break [04:54] korlis are you around [04:54] ver 8.10 [04:54] not sure right now...I think 512 [04:54] it ran Windows fine [04:55] medstudent, your system is abnormally slow, I'm thinking your hard drive is about to die, is your hard drive making sounds like "chaka-chaka-whirrrlllllllllllllll" [04:55] Ran windows fine/worked in windows is not a barometer [04:55] hahaha no [04:55] hahahahah chak-chaka-whirrrllll [04:55] it's working fine, albeit it's 7 yrs old [04:56] 7 years old??? back up your files [04:56] I just formatted it [04:56] to install Ubuntu [04:56] then you wonr lose much when the HD dies, they normally take abuot 5 years to die, at least in my experience [04:56] medstudent, I have a PII that runs just fine using xubuntu, i tried ubuntu but it was too slow, it didnt take that long in text mode though [04:57] Korlis, newer disks can last about 10, if you care for them properly. [04:57] ... [04:57] hmmm well then I might have to get the XFCE version then [04:57] I like GNOME though [04:57] medstudent, i think it has something to do with the hardware and the distribution you installed, what version did you install?? [04:57] ive never had a newer computer or hard drive, im poor, i get hand me downs, which, since im a linux user is just fine with me [04:57] couldn't be verified because the public key is not available, how do i get the public key? [04:58] I am running jaunty and just enabled desktop effects how do i select what effects to use? [04:58] medstudent, might consider the "alternate cd" installation [04:58] 8.10 [04:58] !ccsm | Jkessler [04:58] Jkessler: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [04:58] how is the alternate CD different, SeaPhor [04:58] *-* [04:58] ty [04:58] ewww, medstudent 8.10 was the worst [04:58] ok should I try with 9.04? [04:59] I had a 7 year old system, I installed ubuntu on it, then donated it to good will [04:59] anyone know what daemon does dns? [04:59] medstudent, I tried 8.04 and tried jaunty, they both made my AMD 64 bit desktop cry, I had to install 8.10 and it works like a charm [04:59] yeah, and download an extra alternate iso just in case === william is now known as Guest59043 [05:00] Mezquitale, that link you gave me nails my problem, but none of the proposed solutions fix it. [05:00] medstudent, try 9.04 and if you have any issue at all then try 8.04, 8.04 is supposed to be a Long Term SUpport(LTS) which is supposedly the most stable version [05:00] I have a 8.04 CD so I might pop that in [05:00] this virtual terminal isn't working [05:00] my upgrade of hardy to intrepid and then to jaunty disabled the unified button for IM status indicator + shutdown button how can I recover that? [05:01] it asks me for my password, and I type it, and then it says login failed and then shows my password as my login [05:01] can anybody tell me how to get my vpn connection working? i cannot get past the initial challenge. I used my cisco pcf file to configure the connection. [05:01] Logomachist, I suggest you goggle these terms: "ubuntu menu bar disappeared", one of the threads I found helped me fix my desktop [05:01] rofl [05:01] Bonjour === lol is now known as Guest96216 [05:01] k thanks [05:02] medstudent, i personally run 9.04 on this laptop, but i run 8.04 on my servers and on my Game box, and if i didnt love ubuntu so much, i'd say that 8.10 was the "ME" of ubuntu [05:02] HAHA, ok I read you loud and clear [05:02] SeaPhor: i wouldnt go that far [05:02] medstudent, i think the machine is just fine. When you see "Login:" type your login, afterwards it will prompt you for your password like so: "Password:" type your password in and you should see a command prompt [05:03] mezquitale yeah I assure you it's not that simple. there's some weird, serious lag [05:03] ubuntu [05:04] medstudent, reboot your machine into failsafe mode and see what happens [05:04] how do i do that? [05:05] medstudent are you logged in now? you can sudo telinit 1 to get into single user mode [05:05] I haven't gotten logged in [05:05] it won't work [05:06] anyone know the ppa keys for gnome-do? [05:06] medstudent, at the grub menu, arrow down 1 time [05:06] medstudent -> are you using a diff pc to chat now? [05:06] Anyone try out Lotus Symphony? [05:06] I'm using a Mac [05:06] *silence* [05:06] t0s: on the ppa page click in " What's this" next to the Signing key [05:07] Just wanted to thank you peeps. I ran into some trouble a while ago and you were of great help. [05:07] anybody know when the next version of ubuntu is gonig to come out [05:07] TK_: did you bring cookies? [05:07] October [05:07] oct [05:07] Of course [05:07] end of october [05:07] alright, so what precisely is the difference between "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/" and "deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/" in this sources.list file? [05:07] Have some [05:07] * TK_ hands everyone a jar of cookies [05:07] one is for source code packages? [05:08] i hope it fixes the problem i have with the sound [05:08] dm-madman, one is the compiled binary, the other is the soruce === everton137_ is now known as everton137 [05:08] on intrepid it was good [05:08] I can't wait for Karmic .. my recent upgrade from intrepid to jaunty has made my system unstable and junky. Full install always from this point forward. [05:08] medstudent -> a new install? you may as well re-install [05:08] TK_, someone from the community helped me as well, if you learn something feel free to share the knowledge and help someone else [05:08] can somebody tell me which packages do i have to download to compile gnome 2.28 candidate release? [05:08] Will do [05:08] should I try the alternate CD? [05:09] what does that have? [05:09] SpacePigeon: build-essential will have the tools you need to compile [05:09] this community is great, it's the least I can do [05:09] medstudent -> yes, and please learn to respond with the nick of the person you are chatting with, [05:09] n8tuser ok [05:09] hello....... i want to enable mac filtering in squid proxy.... to this we have to compile squid like this "./configure --enable-arp-acl"........... how can i install this via synaptic [05:09] medstudent: alternate is a text install that install ubuntu gnome [05:10] IdleOne so it installs the same version Ubuntu. No differences? [05:10] yup [05:11] where is a good place to learn the basics of linux? for instance i was trying to edit a file in a protected folder but since i was not logged in as root it would not let me and i cannot log in as root. [05:12] Guest59043: on ubuntu.. use sudo [05:12] !sudo [05:12] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [05:12] IdleOne I'm downloading the 9.04 alternate CD installer now [05:12] thanks [05:12] Guest59043 -> also you can google for intro do linux and you'd find several tutorials [05:12] medstudent: let's hope this works [05:13] Howdy do. [05:13] ^whyseaphor [05:13] -_- [05:13] sudo is the bees knees [05:13] * ikey prefers su -c [05:13] IdleOne: yeah, I'm hoping. I'm enjoying my new Comcast download speed. Getting 1.5 MB/sec now. [05:13] ahhhhhh getfacl -R / > permissions.acl; setfacl --restore-permissions.acl just saved me from needing a reinstall :) [05:14] now back to my last question how do i get vpn running on ubuntu linux. i have used the windows cisco pcf file (imported) to configure the network manager. i apologize if this was answered already i did not see the answer. [05:14] IdleOne, which package should i install? [05:14] build-essential [05:14] IdleOne, sudo apt-get install build-essential (gnome-2.28?) [05:14] SpacePigeon: sudo apt-get install build-essential [05:15] SpacePigeon: wait [05:15] i see.. [05:15] you want to compile gnome correct? [05:15] IdleOne, yes, gnome 2.28 [05:15] how can I tell ubuntu to check all drives on next booot? [05:15] ok are you getting compile errors? [05:15] IdleOne, (do you recommend it? could i switch back to repos version?) [05:16] IdleOne, no, I just don't know what to download/compile [05:16] SpacePigeon: i stick to default [05:16] <__lupo__> hi all, does anybody has any tip to make hibernate on ubuntu work fine?

[05:18] IdleOne, Ill link you to it [05:18] err, i did -name actually [05:18] and how long will the disk check take on about 400 gigs? [05:18] Can someone tell me what kernel version is default in the Jaunty installs?

If so, I'm going to dump Mac too and just get a spec'd out PC and put Ubuntu on it :) [05:53] lost12, is that the usb? i never got mine working but that was in 8.04 [05:53] dm-madman: oh, thanks! i knew you guys would help me out!! [05:53] medstudent: I went the other way for my home setup :-P [05:53] Socratees: If we're having the same problem, email me at Samnis@yahoo.com. This way if either of us figure out the solution we can let the other know what it is. [05:54] medstudent: @ work I use Ubuntu and @ home I use OSX [05:54] skel: yeah it will be hard to leave OS X. Works so well. [05:54] logomachist: yeah i can do that. [05:54] medstudent: just because of the app availability [05:54] medstudent, if you have a mac why dont you try installing linux on it? Running linux on my desktop wasn't easy, I had to try 8.04, jaunty, my machine seems to like 8.10 [05:55] medstudent: www.virtualbox.org is a free vmware like software that you can use to run linux inside mac fyi [05:55] Logomachist, sounds like your bug and socratees bug should be sent in to the developers [05:55] medstudent: you can also run ubuntu in parallels [05:55] mezquitale: my macbook is very stable. I don't want to mess with it and HD space is a premium even on my 160 GB HD. So I am giving it a go on an old PC first [05:56] skel: I have Fusion for Windows already [05:56] I guess I could throw Ubuntu on there too [05:56] medstudent: ah cool [05:56] medstudent, that is a very good idea [05:56] rsync: opendir "pool/main/k/kde4bindings/.~tmp~" (in ubuntu) failed: Permission denied (13) <-- wtf? [05:56] mezquitale: I'm getting an 404 errors from the servers on my sources.list when i try to upgrade [05:56] should I encrypt my home directory? [05:56] medstudent: I run an 8 Gb virtualbox ubuntu on my laptop ... not huge [05:56] asdfadfs: did that work for you? [05:56] any reason not to? [05:57] medstudent: speed mostly [05:57] socratees, sounds like those servers are no more or youre not connected to the internet [05:57] medstudent: depends on what you'll be accessing in there [05:57] paranoia about someone stealing your machine :) [05:57] probably nothing needing encrypting [05:57] medstudent: for light / medium usage its probably no big deal [05:57] if you stuck a mysql db or something in your home dir [05:57] that'd suck a bit [05:57] medstudent, on a laptop I suggest you encrypt your home directory, on your desktop don't encrypt your home directory unless you have material you dont want the FBI, CIA, NSA, and the FDA to see [05:58] mezquitale: ok thanks [05:58] so far so good [05:58] mezquitale: lol FDA? [05:58] oh, well it appears to be syncing anyway, so nvm [05:58] FDA? what does the food and drug administration want with your pc mezquitale ? [05:58] you left out CPS [05:58] Logomachist, your luck just got better Dr_Willis is in the house [05:59] Hmm. A friend is moving /home to a separate partition after having initially installed everything in /. Is there some easy Ubuntu-y way of doing it, or does it need to be done manually? (Editing fstab and moving the files and such) [05:59] skel, he's a medstudent, he knows what I'm talking about, willis [05:59] shachaf, yes [05:59] !home [05:59] Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [05:59] shachaf: the cheap / lazy way is just to create a symlink to the new directory after mv it [06:00] what's app can i use to switch wav to mp3? [06:00] zebaztian: lame I think [06:00] zebaztian: LAME? [06:00] shachaf: uhhh, what's hard about adding a line to fstab and moving the files? [06:00] !home | shachaf [06:00] shachaf: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [06:00] dm-madman: Nothing, but I'm helping someone through this over IM. [06:00] dm-madman: Which makes everything more complex. [06:00] shachaf, lame? [06:00] shachaf: just tell them all 3 commands ffs [06:01] sudo aptitude install LAME ? [06:01] shachaf, and if you want to do from initial install i can show you that as well [06:01] dm-madman: Yes, yes. What about the UUID=... line in fstab? I've never figured that part out. [06:01] Hello Dr_Willis. :) I'm told you're the resident guru? [06:01] SeaPhor: From initial install is easy. :-) It's what I've always done. [06:01] I have a problem. After logging in, the desktop comes up but without the menu bar. I have a mouse cursor, and I have wallpaper and ctrl + alt + delete works. The "Help" button on the "restart the computer" menu brings up the help window but without the title bar. But that's all I can get to. Alt + F2 doesn't work. Has anyone else run into anything like this? [06:01] shachaf: what about it? [06:01] medstudent: just password protection and only drs. and drs. employees allowed data access, w/o patient consent, or medical necessity [06:02] shachaf, couldn't find packages lame [06:02] dm-madman: What would he add? "/dev/sda4" or some UUID line? [06:02] zebaztian," lame MyFile.wav MyNewFile.mp3" [06:02] zebaztian: Probably it's in "universe" or "multiverse" or something. [06:02] shachaf, http://www.wood-bee-co.com/woodbeeco/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=35&Itemid=66 [06:03] mezquitale, do i have to specify the file location /path? [06:03] shachaf: i just add the device node unless he's a drive-shuffler or something [06:03] shachaf: and if he is, a LABEL= line would do just fine [06:04] zebaztian, if your already in the path then no, but if you want to creaate an mp3 file from your wav file that's stored in your desktop and put it into your library in another folder then yes [06:04] dm-madman: How does the LABEL thing work? Is it an argument to mke2fs? === ania is now known as Guest16600 [06:04] zebaztian, install lame first: sudo apt-get install lame [06:05] how do i save an ubuntu bootable image to an sd/micro sd card? [06:05] zaccour: if you have it installed somewhere else already, there's a tool under Preferences or Administration [06:05] zaccour: can't remember which [06:05] zaccour: something like ubuntu usb image tool or something [06:06] zaccour: at least in Jaunty [06:06] shachaf: tell him this: mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda4 && mkdir /mnt/mynewhome && mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/mynewhome && cp -av /home/* /mnt/mynewhome/ && umount /mnt/mynewhome && e2label /dev/sda4 /home && echo '/home LABEL=/home ext3 defaults,noatime 0 0' >> /etc/fstab && mount /home [06:06] Dr_Willis was here briefly then he lft [06:06] :/ [06:06] shachaf: perhaps substitute ext3 for something else [06:06] shachaf: one command for him to cut and paste :) [06:07] dm-madman: What about deleting the files in the old /home? :-) [06:07] shachaf: he has to run it as root, though, so 'sudo su' first? [06:07] shachaf, UUID is somewhat confusing, as it is relative to the device/box/os... but tis command will give it... sudo vol_id --uuid /dev/sda# [06:07] Logomachist, you have to type the name first, as in the first few letters, then tab it, if he's using xchat he'll see it red and he'll know it's addressed to him [06:08] welp, the new woot sucks, I'm off to bed, g'night [06:08] Logomachist: there? [06:08] shachaf: yeah after that he can do this: mkdir /mnt/rootbind && mount -o bind / /mnt/rootbind && rm -rf /mnt/rootbind/home [06:08] UUID is not confusing at all, it's the best way to put hard drives in your fstab [06:09] Yeah. I was looking for his nick on the room list, when I couldn't find it I assumed he was under a pseudonym. [06:09] shachaf: and then umount /mnt/rootbind, and maybe rmdir /mnt/{mynewhome,rootbind} [06:10] dm-madman: It wouldn't cause trouble to do this while logged in as a user? [06:10] shachaf: nope [06:13] shachaf: might do something odd if he's downloading while doing it or something, but i can't imagine it causing any major malfunctions (anything a quick relog won't fix) [06:13] mezquitale, I am using soundconverter instead, but it does'nt seem to give an option for converting to mp3 [06:13] Logomachist, there are other gurus that come in the room every now and then so don't despair, just try different times, it's night time most of America, maybe some europeans will log in when it's night time in their time zone [06:13] shachaf: it's really quite simple, you just format, copy, mount, delete [06:14] zebaztian, ive heard about soundconverter, lame was the easiest for me so youre on your own with soundconverter [06:14] !ask | Logomachist [06:14] Logomachist: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [06:14] mezquitale: K [06:15] mezquitale, it seems as though i already installed lame however i can't see it,is this a shell only app? [06:15] Logomachist, ask your question again, maybe fccf can help you, if not hopefully someone else later on can [06:15] I have a problem. After logging in, the desktop comes up but without the menu bar. I have a mouse cursor, and I have wallpaper and ctrl + alt + delete works. The "Help" button on the "restart the computer" menu brings up the help window but without the title bar. But that's all I can get to. Alt + F2 doesn't work. Has anyone else run into anything like this? [06:15] zebaztian, yes, lame is used through the command line as far as i know [06:15] do i get ubuntu onto an sd card the same way i would a usb flash? [06:16] mezquitale, i agree that its the best way of adding to the fstab, the confusing part is getting at the UUID, especially when the df -ah and whats listed in the fstab differ as far as what sdax and sday are, i had 2 cases where they conflicted eachother and had to guess which was correct in order to get the right UUID associated to the fstab [06:16] sorry ubottu. you made my ignore list for being "most annoying bot" [06:16] !error [06:16] Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [06:16] mezquitale, so if i want to use lame first i cd to cdda://sr0/ and then i do what?

[06:17] shachaf: yeah, i meant that, i was typing too fast [06:17] SeanTater, youre confusing yourself, in the future try "sudo fdisk -l" and then "sudo blkid" [06:17] i'm going back to 9.04 because in karmic there isn't sources needed for gyachi [06:17] SeaPhor, , youre confusing yourself, in the future try "sudo fdisk -l" and then "sudo blkid" [06:18] is there a way to downgrade? [06:18] shachaf: sorry, good job catching that one [06:18] zebaztian, what is it exactly youre trying to do? I thought you were trying to change a wav file to an mp3 file [06:18] zaccour: er um kinda... but not reccommended and definatly not supported [06:19] Logomachist, it sounds like Compiz is messing things up a little (perhaps your graphics card isn't working properly). Can you do ctrl-alt-F2 after logging in? [06:19] mezquitale, did that- it matched the gui, and the fstab, but not the df -ah [06:19] mezquitale, yes, so the wavs are at cdda://sr0/ as they're in a cd, adn i want the mp3s to be ripped onto the desktop [06:19] F2 or F1? [06:20] wasssssup [06:20] Logomachist, either. [06:20] Logomachist: does it matter, or is a terminal a terminal [06:20] zebaztian, yes, first cd to where the wav files are stored then in the path you have to specify the path to the desktop as in : lame myfile.wav /home/username/Desktop/myfile.mp3 [06:20] Peddy: Yes they both work. [06:20] do i get ubuntu onto an sd card the same way i would a usb flash? [06:20] Logomachist, you will be presented with a black login screen, log in there. [06:21] Ahh, my sound just stopped, i've killall pulseaudio and tried again, usually this fixes it for me. [06:21] fccf, t =t, the answer is t [06:21] Peddy: Done [06:21] How would I find out a device's label? [06:21] shachaf: if it's ext2/3? [06:21] Logomachist, OK, type "DISPLAY=:0.0 metacity --replace" without quotes. [06:21] dm-madman: Yes.

I had a Linux distro installed on one of them, and then installed Ubuntu on the other physical drive (it formatted the second). I was hoping to be able to dual boot into these two distros, but now grub comes up and only offers me Ubuntu. I've tried editing /boot/grub/menu.lst to add the other distro but to no avail. Actually, when I do this, it appears on my grub list and it begins to boot but then giv [06:24] UUID error of some sort. Can someone help me boot into my old install?

[06:26] Logomachist, did you type it exactly line-for-line DISPLAY=:0.0 ?

Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [06:27] PEDDY: WAIT, let me try again [06:27] timothyarnold, that is not a big issue, that's happened to me a few times, first look at your hard drives, you want to know their location "sudo fdisk -l" then look at the "menu.lst" file, you have a new file that is being used by the drive youre using to boot up and you have an old one in the other drive, once you find those files ask more questions === gewt is now known as sixtynine [06:28] Does anyone know how to list X servers running on a machine and the display they're on?

I typed the line and then hit ctrl+alt+F7 like you said. The screen went back to the wallpaper. [06:30] Logomachist, good. Can you do alt-F2 now? [06:31] You know, the Run dialog thing.

[06:33] ikey: conkyrc, weather.sh, weather.xslt [06:33] Peddy: What do I press to go back to the other terminal... ctrl + alt + F1? Then I hit ^c and type "gtk-window-decorator --replace"? [06:34] DougM, rename conkyrc to .conkyrc [06:34] Can you get CDs or DVDs with a bunch of the packages on it? maybe an ISO or something? [06:34] ikey: ok i did that [06:34] then run conky [06:35] Logomachist, yep - ctrl-alt-F1. Then, hit up, and delete the 'metacity --replace' part, replacing it with 'gtk-window-decorator --replace'. [06:35] mezquitale, I have both menu.lst files. I have the Ubuntu file because it's the OS I'm booting into, and I have the old one (Fedora) because I am able to mount the partition with the /boot folder from that distro. I'm not sure how (or which one) to edit, however, to enable booting into Fedora upon restart. I tried taking the Fedora version (from the Fedora menu.lst file) and sticking it as an option in the Ubuntu menu.lst file, right [06:35] the Ubuntu part. This makes Fedora show up on the Grub list when I restart, and seems to start the boot process, but I get an error soon after. It completes "Setting up Logical Volume Management" and fails "Checking filesystems." It says fsck.ext3: unable to resolve 'UUID=....' [06:35] \J #IP [06:36] ikey: should the .conkyrc file be directly in my home directory because its inside a folder then inside another [06:36] timothyarnold: perhaps you've unwittingly removed or formatted the FC root partition? [06:36] Peddy: Done [06:36] 9/11 was an inside job [06:36] dm-madman maybe? no idea what the FC root partition is [06:37] mezquitale, what if i want to convert several files all at once? [06:37] timothyarnold: certainly sounds that way [06:37] I need help. I cannot play any video files in vls, mplayer or the default video player. What can I do to fix this problem? When I try to play any videoclip, the window just closes [06:37] DougM, directly yes. [06:37] Logomachist, go back to VT7 with ctrl-alt-F7/ [06:37] ikey: ok [06:37] dm-madman do you know how to fix this? [06:37] Is there a program for Ubuntu that is like Dreamweaver? [06:37] Peddy: done. [06:38] steven__, Seamonkey I think, I don't have experience. [06:38] timothyarnold: not really possible, assuming I am correct [06:38] Logomachist, still not working? [06:38] ikey: alright i put it directly into that folder.. now where should I go from here?

[06:39] hmmm dhm-madman, mezquitale seemed to think it was easily fixable... mezquitale? === andrew_ is now known as Guest16015 [06:39] Logomachist, OK - go back to VT1 and repeat the ^C thing, replacing 'gtk-window-decorator --replace' with 'gnome-panel'. It's a wild shot, but it might work. [06:39] dm-madman is there a way to check this? [06:40] I cannot play any video files in vlc, mplayer or the default video player. When I try to play any videoclip, the videoplayer window just closes [06:40] Plus it might give interesting output. [06:40] timothyarnold, sounds like the issue is between multi boot between ubuntu and fedora, I would google the issue, what you want to do is edit the "menu.lst" file on the ubuntu partition, I suggest you boot up to ubuntu "sudo fidsk -l" identify which partition has fedora, then get the uuid by : sudo blkid , then use the UUID in the menu.lst file [06:40] timothyarnold: mount any unmounted partitions, and see if FC is on them [06:40] hey all [06:40] !Screem [06:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about Screem [06:40] dm-madman i can mount the fedora partitions [06:41] timothyarnold: well then you have not removed or overwritten them [06:41] Which is better...Bluefish or Screem? [06:41] timothyarnold fedora or ext4 or ext3 ? === Guest16015 is now known as Martensite [06:42] timothyarnold: you should do what he said, get the UUIDs and put them in your kernel command lines [06:42] mezquitale -- I've googled for several hours now, which is why I came here. I guess I don't understand where the computer looks when it boots. Has it mounted anything when grub comes up? Does it look at the /boot/grub/menu.lst file in the old fedora physical disk (I can mount the /boot folder. It is in /dev/sda1 whereas ubuntu is /dev/sdb1. This is where I got the menu.lst file from Fedora)? [06:42] zebaztian, if you want to do multiple files then you want to learn about scripting, havent done scripting in a long while, sorry but what you want to do is to create a loop that iterates in all files in a directory, if youre a professional that does hundreds of files then i suggest you learn about scripting, it will save you a lot of time [06:42] techtronic not sure, how might I check? I want to say ext3 but unsure [06:43] mezquitale, i got the following output [06:43] lame: excess arg /home/sebastian/Desktop/DomingoAM.mp3 [06:43] timothyarnold, your issue is with "dual booting ubuntu and fedora". If you installed ubuntu last then ubuntu is booting up first and it matters what ubuntu sees [06:44] zebaztian, what did you type first? [06:44] mezquitale okay. Is there a way to make an option to use all the Fedora partitions to mount to /boot etc ? I tried to do this I guess and failed [06:44] mezquitale, lame Track 1.wav /home/sebastian/Desktop/DomingoAM.mp3 [06:44] how to format pen drive on ubuntu 9 [06:44] Hi. I had a local terminal connect via ssh to a remote host overnight, in order to run some app, but the connection timed out.

Can I rejoin it as a child of the new terminal I'm now using, so that I can again monitor its output ?

[06:45] Anyone here know anything about KompoZer? [06:45] administrator__: mkfs /dev/wtf [06:46] timothyarnold, I have done this using ubuntu. My installs have crapped out and only gave an option to use the last install that I used. I haave a 500G hd with a bunch of partitions. What I do is edit my "menu.lst" file and add the other partitions, the trick is to put the correct partitions in your "menu.lst" file [06:46] Logomachist, log out, and log in with the new user. Does the problem still occur? [06:46] dm-madman: Thats not a constructive answer [06:46] administrator__: where wtf is actually wtf device you want to format [06:46] genii: is it not? [06:46] mezquitale do you think two different physical hard drives, versus just several partitions, makes this different? [06:46] timothyarnold, do you have internet on that box? the one in question? [06:47] seaphor unfortunately no [06:47] dm-madman: Not in it's original form :) [06:47] genii: perhaps "man mkfs" would be better? [06:47] timothyarnold, hint: have you see what the "menu.lst" file looks like for ubuntu [06:47] i have connect it to my usb port so i wanna format it how to do it [06:47] dm-madman: "man whatever" is the lazy way. [06:48] administrator__: you'd probably like gparted [06:48] timothyarnold, what can you boot to? [06:48] mezquitale yep, I'm looking at it right now. title, uuid, kernel, root=uuid=[a UUID], initrd. I think I've found all these things for the Fedora partition (by looking at the Fedora menu.lst) and added it below the Ubuntu pieces [06:48] administrator__ -> fdisk /dev/sdc [06:48] genii: it's more helpful than doing it for them, though [06:48] mezquitale, sebastian@jaunty:~/Desktop$ lame Track 1.wav Could not find "Track" [06:48] dm-madman: Sometimes. [06:48] mezquitale and that indeed gives me a Fedora option when I reboot in Grub. But then when I boot it gives me this UUID error. Could the UUID from the Fedora menu.lst be different from the UUID that it should be? [06:48] seaphor: i can boot to ubuntu but not my previous distro on a different physical hard drive [06:48] timothyarnold, dont look at the UUID in the menu.lst in the fedora partition, boot into ubuntu and get the UUID from ubuntu [06:48] zebaztian: put a \ before the space, so "lame Track\ 1.wav" [06:49] mezquitale: okay --- does this come from blkid? [06:49] Peddy: When the Users and Groups window appears, it is all the way in the upper left hand corner of the screen, and without a title or menu bar. "Add user" is grayed out. Maybe this is because I am logged in under failsafe mode? [06:49] timothyarnold: blkid just prints the uuid for the device node [06:49] my ADD PRINTER option are disabled.... help me!!! [06:49] where i should mention my pen drive's name [06:49] zebaztian, try putting quotes around your file name as in "Track 1. wav" [06:50] Logomachist, you might need to click 'unlock' first. But, to get the title and menu bars back, could you open a gnome-terminal? [06:50] timothyarnold, you seemed to have solved the problem yourself, try it and see what happens [06:50] IdleOne, SeaPhor, mezquitale: great success. 9.04 booted beautifully. [06:51] Peddy: Unlock is disabled too. Terminal opened. [06:51] medstudent, great news [06:51] what is the command to format a flash drive on ubuntu 9 [06:51] excuse me, how come i dont see the settings i click in compiz configurator [06:51] do i have to restart x before they take effect? [06:51] administrator__: try gparted, i think that's "the ubuntu way" [06:51] medstudent, so your machine like jaunty then??? Jaunty makes my desktop cry a river!!!!!!!!!! [06:51] Logomachist, OK - it's probably failsafe mode. Ignore that for now. Type gtk-window-decorator --replace in the terminal. [06:52] SeaPhor: so to get "up and running" per se in Ubuntu, I need to get Flash, mp3 and DVD codecs, right? [06:52] glicks, make sure compiz is enabled in System>preferences>appearance [06:52] \join # [06:52] it is enabled wadmurr [06:52] sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb1 && sudo mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdb1 << Replace sdb1 with your ACTUAL device name [06:52] mezquitale: works like a charm so far [06:52] glicks, "Normal" or "Extra" set? [06:52] but it's only been up and running for 90 seconds [06:52] administrator__: First you need to know what the drive is being seen as. Usually it's some name like sdb sdc or so on. Then it needs to have a valid partition so that there is an sdb1 or sdc` or so on which to format. Then you can format it in the way already described by dm-madman [06:52] wadmurr, custom [06:53] Peddy: Done. [06:53] looks gorgeous though. I'm digging the font feathering [06:53] name is yamuna [06:53] medstudent update it your distro "sudo apt-get update" [06:53] Logomachist, does the terminal say anything? Still no titlebars, right? [06:53] ok I'll have to leave IRC to do that [06:53] glicks, as i change settings in the compizconfig settings manager, they instantly take effect [06:53] I'll have to switch the ethernet cord to my desktop now [06:53] Peddy: Nothing, and right [06:54] I'll fire up Xchat though once I'm on line [06:54] Logomachist, try compiz --replace [06:54] medstudent, have fun, try installing winblows in this time frame\ [06:54] mezquitale: got past the last spot where there was an error, but the progress bar just kind of hangs when it gets all the way to the right hand side of the screen. Is there a way to show what's actually happening during bootup (Fedora) to see where it hangs? [06:54] mezquitale: seriously [06:54] ^c first? [06:54] mezquitale: and especially with an off-the-shelf Windows version with no drivers. You'd go insane. [06:55] Logomachist, yes [06:55] genii: see i would call that "too helpful". That's like someone asking for directions, and you just drive their car there for them and take a cab back. :p [06:55] medstudent, true that, when you get finish schools i hope you remember it was us computer geeks that helped you with your pc issues [06:55] genii: I'm new to this channel, though, so idk... === joejc is now known as J03 === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [06:56] medstudent, sorry about the grammer im quite drunk :-) [06:56] dm-madman: They still have to do the work of finding now their drive designation, partitioning, formatting. So the work is still all theirs to do, now that they know an approach === J03 is now known as joe- [06:56] timothyarnold, i need to see your menu.lst file [06:57] <_Trinity_> hi all === codylaeder is now known as valaruaca === Logomachist1 is now known as Logo2 [06:57] mezquitale the whole thing or just the Fedora entry? [06:57] timothyarnold, the whole thing [06:57] timothyarnold, the whole thing in your unbuntu partition === joe- is now known as joe__ [06:58] why is my update bitching that firefox updates are not authenticated? [06:58] mezquitale :okay, give me a minute [06:58] genii: do ubuntu users normally have wgetpaste? [06:58] <_Trinity_> shuld I be worried about having my / 70% full? I only have two paritions [06:58] new skype release for Linux 2.1 Beta out >_< [06:59] _Trinity_: worry when it says 100% full [06:59] <_Trinity_> LOL!! [06:59] _Trinity_: really weird things happen then [06:59] _Trinity_: it will make your next upgrade a nightmare, but in the meantime it's all good [06:59] timothyarnold, just a clue for you, i googled your issue and it looks like fedora uses LVM's, let me keep reading [06:59] Should I stick with Gnome-desktop or try Kde? [06:59] Peddy: This is Logomachist, I'm logging in from the affected computer now. [06:59] dm-madman: Not that i know of [06:59] Peddy: This is the output of compiz --replace - http://privatepaste.com/f90spl5WxD [07:00] genii: how unfortunate. maybe nopaste or some other CLI pastebin program? [07:00] dm-madman: For cli pasting, pastebinit usually [07:00] <_Trinity_> dm-madman: I wonder what filling it? Three desktops? [07:00] i can't get tcpdump to work, and i suspect its because i am trying to use my wireless interface, any ideas? [07:00] Logo2, good. Could you paste the output (if any) of 'metacity --replace'? [07:00] is there a release schedule for 9.04.1 ? [07:01] using "sudo tcpdump -i wlan0' [07:01] wlan0 is listed as the logical name using lshw -C network [07:01] _Trinity_: there are several ways to determine this [07:01] djbpython: are you connected to a network that you're listening to, or are you trying to monitor all wifi traffic? [07:01] No output for metacity --replace. [07:01] mezquitale: ok I'm up and running on Ubuntu [07:02] dibblego: point releases are only created for LTSes. 9.04 is not an LTS, so there won't be a 9.04.1. [07:02] it seems that XChat doesn't come installed by default [07:02] genii: so pastebinit can be piped output or used like 'pastebinit /the/file' i asuume? [07:02] timothyarnold: On that Fedora, when you acidently tell it TV mode and you haven't got that hooked up yet to your computer, TV that is, and your screen just turns to a blank screen, even when you reboot the computer every time, How do you correct that so you can get your computer screen back up so you can see things on it until your actually ready to use the TV mode in Fedora? [07:02] long live communism! down with capitalism! [07:02] dm-madman: Yup [07:02] steven__, it all depends on your hardware, if you want speed stay with gnome, if you have a fast pc and want eye-candy, try KDE [07:02] wizzo50 confused ... what is TV mode? [07:02] Logo2, this is a bit redundant, but could you do 'gtk-window-decorator --replace' again? [07:03] genii: thanks, maybe i can be as helpful as you here now [07:03] iwhy won't my ati driver install tahts in restricted drivers, I hit activate, it asks for my pwd, then it says downloading, and that dissapears but no green light [07:03] !politics | SpacePigeon [07:03] SpacePigeon: Please take political discussion to ##politics. Thank you! [07:03] To use a TV monitor instead of your computer monitor [07:03] steven__, actually i meant to say if you HAVE a fast pc and want eye candy then try KDE [07:03] medstudent, congrats! [07:03] Logo2, you _do_ use Gnome, right? [07:03] I have Intel Core 2 Duo...that fast? [07:04] _Trinity_: you could use 'find' to look for big files, or just find the basic distribution of the usage with something like 'du -sh /*' [07:04] timothyarnold: This happened to me and didn't know what to do, so I just reinstalled the Ubuntu over it again. [07:04] it's not just processor [07:04] but video card, more so [07:04] mezquitale: another question: what would be the best way to get Internet Explorer running in Wine? [07:04] !politics | wadmurr [07:04] wadmurr, please see my private message [07:04] medstudent1: whyever would you want to do that [07:05] Hey there guys, Im sure this is going to sound absolutely Noobish, but I just switched to Ubuntu recently, and I feel comfortable with the console, but I can't seem to figure out if there is an Equivical ".bat" file in *nix. I would think there would have to be. [07:05] _Trinity_: usually /usr takes a lot, but maybe if you have /home on the root partition that would be the majority [07:05] ? [07:05] Berzerker: unfortunately when I access the electronic med record system, it's only supported in IE [07:05] rww, oh, then 9.10 will be a LTS? [07:05] why...I have no idea [07:05] man you guyz is tripped right out [07:05] moxie: shell script [07:05] where do my epiphany downloads go? i can't find them anywhere [07:05] medstudent, uninstall wine and install firefox [07:05] medstudent1: look up the IETab extension for firefox [07:05] dibblego: no, 10.04 (or possibly 10.10). LTSes are about every 2 years, and the last one was 8.04. [07:05] Peddy: I don't know if you caught my last line, but after I closed the metacity --replace terminal the screen got screwy, windows were overlapping each other and I couldn't read the chat so I rebooted. [07:06] rww, ok ta [07:06] Berzerker: does that work in Linux? I thought that only worked for Windows...I don't think that Linux has the rendering engine installed by default [07:06] does anyone know how to find the downloads from epiphany browser? i can't seem to find them anywhere [07:06] <_Trinity_> I'll look into those [07:06] moxie: Most scripts in *nix are done in sh,bash, or similar. The extension when it exists is usually .sh but normally in the first line of the file is something like #!/path/executable which tells the os what to use to run the thing [07:06] Logomachist, OK - now that you've rebooted. At GDM, before you log in, go ctrl-alt-F1 and log in there, create a user account with 'sudo adduser'. then try logging in with that account. [07:07] moxie: make a file, start it with "#!/bin/sh" or some other interpreter path, set it to be executable (chmod 755 filename) and then run it (./filename) [07:07] medstudent1: no idea, you can try it though [07:07] Peddy: GDM? [07:07] medstudent: is the record system detecting that you're on linux/firefox and telling you no, or is there some plugin or scripting needed by the system? [07:07] Logomachist, the login screen. [07:07] howto reconfigure mysql ? [07:07] where do my epiphany downloads go? i can't find them anywhere [07:07] medstudent, is your med stuff suported in IE6 or does it have to be IE7+? [07:08] moxie: however, batch files in DOS/Windows have a behavior where they can affect the current environment, and shell scripts, when run, cannot [07:08] Awesome, thanks for the info guys, huge help. And gave me something to google for. [07:08] moxie: you can, however make them do that by "sourcing" them (. filename) [07:08] SeaPhor: it's supported in IE6 [07:08] medstudent, that is the only reason i ever boot to redmond, when there's stuff that isn't supported in linux like your plugin for IE [07:09] Hi, what program in Ubuntu do I use to use my HP printer and scanner on and to scan the original size? [07:09] moxie: you can look at the man page for bash for a HUGE amount of information about the shell language [07:09] medstudent: is it an IE plugin, or is the system just telling you 'no' because you're on firefox? [07:09] mezquitale: I thought that IE6 was supported in Wine [07:09] I printed the bash manual once, it was like a phone book [07:10] <_Trinity_> dm-madman: It's not /home that's in /. I'll look intose otehr commands. Adn just when I thught I'd not install without extra partitions [07:10] Ahh, have compiz running now, and my send application to workspace keyboard shourtcuts dont work, :/ [07:10] Any ideas? [07:10] dm-madman: speed reading is a learnable skill [07:10] medstudent: why i ask is because if it's sensing that you're on firefox and simply saying "no," you could change firefox's user agent string to that of IE's and trick the sites [07:10] medstudent, for me it wouls be 2 choices,,, 1 run winxp in vm, or 2 pay the 15$ for crossover and install IE from office 2003 there' [07:10] ubuntu [07:10] medstudent, yes but IE uses plugins which might not be supported in linux, what application youre trying to use in IE??? [07:10] medstudent, *would [07:10] any help here [07:10] seidos: never learned that skill, but i did read most of the manual [07:10] it doesn't render properly in Firefox [07:11] !ask | wizzo50 [07:11] wizzo50: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) === timothyarnold_ is now known as timothyarnold [07:11] what program in Ubuntu do I use to use my HP printer and scanner on and to scan the original size? [07:11] Sememmon - FYI, retty may also be useful [07:11] where do my epiphany downloads go? i can't find them anywhere [07:11] Ahh, have compiz running now, and my send application to workspace keyboard shourtcuts dont work, :/ [07:11] Thanks all, bye [07:11] wadmurr: so I need true IE [07:11] Any ideas? [07:11] wizzo50: gimp might work [07:11] spitzi: cool, ty [07:12] Hi! Can you tell me if i can connect with ssh to my machine, with the user X, if on the machine is user Y that's logged in? [07:12] Peddy: The new user has panels but it is still gives me that applet error dialog I encountered before. [07:12] medstudent: maybe so. but it could still be something detecting you're on firefox and not firing off some javascript or css file [07:12] any epiphany browser users here at all? [07:12] Also, i cant drag folders and stuff anymore since installing compiz. [07:12] Keiffer: ssh -l Xname ip/name [07:12] bache ha man ye barnameie php neveshte hala mikham ba cron too server ejrash konam ta karesho anjam bede , hala dastooore ejrash ro chi baiad bedam ? [07:12] Logomachist, does the new user have window titlebars? [07:12] medstudent1: maybe have a look at IEs4Linux @ http://www.tatanka.com.br/ [07:13] Keiffer: you can specify which user to use with "ssh username@server", if that's what you're asking [07:13] wizzo50: nevermind, perhaps something else [07:13] HELLO ALL, Can you pls respond to my questions? [07:13] Ok. Thanks rww and genii [07:13] dm-madman: I am still practicing. I am trying to get through the bible [07:13] where can you post multiple lines??? [07:13] !helpme | CoUrPsE [07:13] CoUrPsE: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on.

Otherwise, we could try finding the exact problem. Your choice. [07:15] enovativ: samba isn't setup by default but for windows in explorer it usually is //ip.address.of.server/sharename. However that changes from version to version of windows [07:15] mezquitale: quick question: how do I enable the extra repositories.

[07:16] timothyarnold, you didnt lose internet access, you got booted because you were flooding the chat [07:16] medstudent: System>Administration>Software Sources [07:16] enovativ: you can write click on a file and select sharing options. That's normally simplest way. Also see !samba [07:16] mezquitale hmm did not intend to... sorry [07:16] wizzo50: but xsane sounds like your best bet, or search the forums for your particular scanner model [07:16] !forums [07:16] The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org.

[07:19] where are epiphany downloads saved? i can't find them [07:19] medstudent: that should do. close it, update sources. and then find your packages in synaptic [07:19] seidos: I clicked on it and it scanned for devices and came up saying No devices available. [07:19] CoUrPsE: sure! You'll probably want to install compizconfig-settings-manager which is where you configure all of the compiz stuffs [07:19] how many GB is a full ubuntu mirror [07:19] wizzo50: do you have a memory card slot on your computer?

[07:21] Logomachist, I don't really have a high level of expertise, so it could take a long time, or might not happen at all. However, if we try the quick-fix, it's reversible and we'll be able to see if it actually fixes your problem (it should) [07:21] mezquitale thanks for your help [07:21] ziroday, oh aight, sorry, didnt know if ya seen the msg, i see there is lots of options, :/ [07:21] no problem [07:21] wizzo50: that might be the easiest way to do it. I can search the forums for you if you give me your printer make and model [07:21] Anyone know if Screem is any good? [07:21] seidos: Which would be the same as the HP Printer to the computer [07:21] where are epiphany downloads saved? i can't find them [07:22] I'm rsyncing this us.archive.ubuntu.com and i'm rather curious how big the directory is going to get [07:22] CoUrPsE: from the looks of it you'll want to enable the "Put" plugin and then configure a binding for "Put to arbitrary viewport" [07:22] seidos: HP Photosmart C4640 [07:22] wizzo50: if when you plug the printer into your computer, if it mounts the memory card as a drive in ubuntu, then yes, you are right [07:22] dm-madman: quite large [07:22] brb gotta poop [07:22] zaccour: by default, they're not, due to a bug in epiphany. You need to go to Edit > Preferences and set a download location. [07:22] dm-madman: ~50 GB [07:22] timothyarnold, still there?? [07:22] oh, that's not so bad [07:22] mezquitale yep [07:23] wizzo50: what version of ubuntu are you running? [07:23] seidos: That I don't know if it does, if it mounts the memory card as a drive in Ubuntu. How do you find that out? [07:23] hi there. Can someone point me in the direction of some good reading material for deploying workstations in a commercial situation? LDAP / Remote mounted /home directories etc [07:23] !ver [07:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about ver [07:23] seidos: 9.10 [07:23] !version [07:23] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [07:23] I'm worried that the problem would reoccur if we don't fix the underlying cause; but since you're not sure the slow fix would even work we might as well do the quick fix if that's going to fix it at least for awhile. But first, is there any way I could preserve my Main menu? [07:23] dm-madman: 668201353515 bytes, plus filesystem overhead. [07:24] timothyarnold, the answer is simple, in ubuntu in order to boot up every bootable section has these lines: "title" "uuid" "kernel" "initrd" [07:24] mezquitale okay [07:24] ziroday, Awesome, do you know a way of not going to the desktop with it? [07:24] !version [07:24] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [07:24] if you look at your fedora section in your menu.lst, it's telling ubuntu to boot up from the first partition in your first hard drive which is false [07:24] CoUrPsE: sorry I don't quite follow. Could you rephrase that? [07:25] kermit: did i read that right? just under 700GB? [07:25] wizzo50: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1123635&highlight=HP+Photosmart+C4640 [07:25] dm-madman: according to my math.. unless things are listed multiple times in the ls-lR.gz [07:25] dm-madman: i just totaled up the 5th column in that file [07:25] mezquitale you mean the root (hd0,0) ? [07:25] I set it up using F5-8 like i use to have it, but when i send something to workspace 2 (F6), my ubuntu goes to workspace as well. [07:26] timothyarnold, instead boot up into ubuntu and look for the UUID of the bootable partition in your fedora distro, remember fedora uses LVM, then place the correct parameters in the "menu.lst" in your ubuntu partition [07:26] wizzo50: if you can't scan to memory card, then just pull the .jpg from the card [07:26] wizzo50: then try this program HPLIP [07:26] Also, When i take focus away from Xchat, when put enabled, and then put focus back, i cant see my typing. [07:26] timothyarnold, exactly( Hd0,0) [07:26] kermit: okay, so i'll just cancel that i guess... [07:27] mezquitale i thought that *was* where the fedora boot partition was [07:27] kermit: and come up with an alternate plan [07:27] CoUrPsE: ah not sure about that sorry, #compiz might have answers however [07:27] wizzo50: plug the printer into your computer, and check your gnome desktop [07:27] Logomachist, by Main Menu, do you mean the gnome-panel Applications dialog? or what? [07:27] Yeah, that's what I meant. [07:27] mezquitale i get that from /boot/grub/device.map on the ubuntu disk [07:27] wizzo50: I think mount will also list drives that are mounted, but the chances of this are slim. you will probably have to try using HPLIP [07:27] which is the standard-prefix for lua? [07:27] hello all [07:27] mezquitale it says (hd0) /dev/sda (the physical drive where fedora is) and (hd1) /dev/sdb (the physical drive where ubuntu is) [07:28] seidos: When I plug the memory card in the printer, a box appears called F-Spot, but I'll do what you say up above, just give me a little time. I am slow at learning these things Sorry! [07:28] wizzo50: I have a sd card reader on my laptop [07:28] i removed the linux-headers package on my system and installed a previous one (compatibility issues) but when i rebooted, it says it's still using the kernel i dont want. How do i fix that? [07:28] Hum. Assuming I want to be able to help someone with command-line-related things remotely -- a shared screen session would be approximately what I'm after -- would there be a simple way for them to set that up? Assume there are NATs involved and all that. [07:28] seidos: There printer is already plugged in [07:28] mezquitale do i need that root (hd0,0) line at all in menu.lst? [07:28] timothyarnold, dont use (hd0, 0) use the same as the other entries in the "menu.lst" file, pput the "uuid" and then "kernel" and then "initrd" [07:29] (I've managed to set it up on my own computer with SSH tunneling and creating a specialized user and various flags and so on, but that's rather complex.) [07:29] wizzo50: can you browse the contents of the memory card from ubuntu? [07:29] rww, i tried that, didn't work [07:29] mezquitale so replace that line with uuid=[the UUID]? [07:30] timothyarnold, also uses google, fedora uses lvm and I don't even know what UUID youre supposed to use in ubuntu so I suggest you goggle it, now you know what the issue is [07:30] mezquitale okay, thanks for your help [07:30] no problem, good night [07:30] ziroday, Aight, thanks m8. [07:30] CoUrPsE: have fun! [07:30] heh, thanks. === Caplain_ is now known as Caplain [07:31] mezquitale: are you a drive shifter? you are in love with this UUID mount option, but it seems only particularly useful for portable storage devices to me. [07:31] wizzo50: does your photosmart c4480 allow you to scan to memory card without being plugged in? [07:31] i removed the linux-headers package on my system and installed a previous one (compatibility issues) but when i rebooted, it says it's still using the kernel i dont want. How do i fix that? [07:31] Logomachist, I don't know if there's a way to do that. Like I said, it's reversible though - if it's too harsh, you can just go back. Also, it'd make things easier for me if you said my name when you talk to me; lets me see when you reply. [07:32] Peddy: Sorry, I keep forgetting. ... OK, let's go with the solution that we know will work. [07:32] seidos: I am following them instructions on the downloading and setting up the HPLIP [07:32] I can't stand UUID for identifying disks, it looks awful, requires extra steps, and doesn't do anything that udev rule can't [07:33] and it breaks hibernate if you reformat your swap partition [07:33] wizzo50: ubuntu :) [07:33] and it causes no end's of pain if trying to setup RAID arrays! [07:33] seidos: right [07:34] seidos: hold on [07:34] Logomachist, I think I may have found a way to save the menu, but first [07:34] is kde updated by ubuntu community? [07:34] BeardedAdmin: makes your fstab look like an exercise in data encryption [07:34] ziroday, Just seen a option to 'unfocus window', This stops going to the desktop with the application. [07:35] does anyone know?........... [07:35] Logomachist, OK. Open up your home directory, ctrl-h, and rename .gnome .gnome2 .gnome2_private .gconf .gconfd .config by addind a '.old' to the end. [07:35] dm-madman: Yup. A major step backwards if you ask me [07:35] seidos: I am not sure what they mean on C. of Step 2: Install Dependency Packages [07:35] CoUrPsE, awesome [07:35] adding* [07:35] zaccour far as i know kde keeps kde updated [07:35] SnakDoc, how is that possible? [07:35] zaccour now i but not sure who keeps repos up [07:35] SnakDoc, i mean who? [07:36] BeardedAdmin: LABELs can be nice, though [07:36] zaccour: the Kubuntu people periodically put up notifications of backports of new versions of KDE at http://www.kubuntu.org/ [07:36] rww, is it updated with regular updates like in gnome? [07:36] zaccour: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE#Organization [07:37] zaccour: Ubuntu doesn't update to new major versions of GNOME after release. [07:37] wizzo50: I don't see "Dependency Packages" [07:37] seidos: I am not sure what they mean on C. of Step 2: Install Dependency Packages [07:37] rww i meant are updates done the same way? [07:37] wizzo50: 2 for me says "Restart Ubuntu" [07:37] seidos: On Step 2 it is asking it [07:37] zaccour: Kubuntu with backports is broadly similar to Ubuntu with backports, I guess. [07:38] wizzo50: can you copy and paste the step to me? [07:38] seidos: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/manual/distros/ubuntu.html [07:38] excuse me, how can i adjust the speed at which my panels hide [07:38] #karo [07:39] what was the command necessary to open /etc/udev/rules.d/60-persistent-storage.rules ? [07:39] gkdesu gedit? [07:39] wizzo50: double check your version of Ubuntu. If you are running Heron (8.04) or Ibex (8.10) you will need to do the 2nd step under c by copying and pasting into a terminal [07:39] gksudo I assume you mean [07:39] or something [07:39] i dunno [07:39] Hello guys, I'm having ridiculous slow speed when writing to an external usb harddisk, its a WD 500GB harddrive with an NTFS partition, I'm copying large files which are 1 GB per file, they start at a transfer rate of 4 MB Per second, and decrease to 12 KB per second, anyone can shed a light to what could be going wrong ?

[07:44] All this GUI stuff is harder than tty* [07:44] Logomachist, then rename the files using the 'mv' command, like 'mv .gnome .gnome.old' [07:44] wizzo50: what is the next step?

[07:47] abe3k: I searched the forums for wd 500 gb performance and found this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1150108&highlight=wd+500gb+external+usb+performance [07:47] seidos: Ok, it downloaded it to my Desktop [07:47] Logomachist, after that, log out and log into your other account. .gnome etc will be recreated using the Ubuntu default. You probably want to put the some of the subdirectories from your .config.old in the newly created one, if they pertain to programs you are certain don't affect GNOME (ie, torrent client prefs). Then, you can systematically restore your old .gnome files using this method, logging out and in each time, until it breaks agai [07:47] n. Then you'll see what caused it. Once you found the offending folder, just delete it, and restore all your other configuration folders (it's probably just 1 file that caused the problem). [07:48] seidos: It says to enter this command: tar xvfz hplip-3.9.8.tar.gz [07:48] seidos: Where at? [07:48] my booting of Fedora is hanging without any error messages and I'm not sure why.

[08:10] wizzo50: type hplip [08:10] !ntfs | mostafa_ [08:10] mostafa_: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [08:10] u [08:11] !fstab | mostafa_: or maybe this [08:11] mostafa_: or maybe this: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [08:11] ctrl c didnt work and someone told me /exec -o cat /dev/random would fix it, it hasnt and now im sad [08:11] hello is it possible to share GPG keys from each entry in the sources.list file?

[08:16] seidos: oh boy [08:16] all for you [08:16] mostafa_: ntfs has been around forever, ntfs-3g is relatively new (only been stable for a few years) [08:16] rww: thanks and what 3g itself? [08:16] wizzo50: thankfully not all for me [08:17] rww: thanks and what is 3g itself?

[08:22] how to format pen drive [08:22] Sassy: use Pidgin instead. it's already there. [08:22] Sassy : I think its possible only to install an older version or use wine [08:22] !wine | Sassy [08:22] Sassy: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [08:22] I've tried I don't know how to use it... please help [08:22] zaccour: its the same thing like in gnome applicatins [08:22] how to format pen drive using g parted [08:22] seidos: I clicked on next and no device found [08:23] Sassy: don't know how to use Pidgin?

[08:24] it even has red error in the Terminal box [08:24] I do have a Yahoo Account Ten-Eight [08:24] what is the command [08:24] mostafa_: it sets the locale for file names. If you have files named using some script other than Latin (e.g., Japanese characters, etc.), you'd want to change that, otherwise it should be fine. [08:24] can someone help me..? [08:25] seidos: it even has red error in the Terminal box [08:25] Sassy: okay then, open up Pidgin and go to Accounts (on the menu bar). [08:25] wizzo50: terminal box? you mean in hpsetup? [08:25] Done Ten_Eight [08:25] Sassy: Select "manage accounts" [08:25] why when i login in my pidgin...after that its closee [08:26] rww: then if I have two file name types just add that [08:26] Sassy: then click on ADD [08:26] what is the command [08:26] rww: like this [08:26] to format pen drive [08:26] mostafa_: I don't know, to be honest. I've never had to use that option. [08:26] Yes Ten-Eight [08:26] Sassy: from there, select your protocol from the drop down list...Yahoo is almost at the bottom. [08:26] ok Ten-Eight [08:26] rww: np dude thanks for your response ;) [08:26] Sassy: enter your yahoo ID and password [08:26] Sassy : Do as Ten-Eight says or install it via this link http://download.yahoo.com/dl/unix/ymessenger_1.0.4_1_i386.deb [08:27] seidos: http://imagebin.org/63570 [08:27] Sassy: click "Remember password" so you won't have to enter it everytime.

Thanks so much for your help! and also Blizzerand!! [08:28] Blizzerand is correct, the Linux ver of Yahoo is an old one. [08:29] Sassy: you are soooo welcome! Glad to be of service :) [08:29] \join #unity-coders [08:29] * Blizzerand_ huggles Ten-Eight [08:29] Any1 here can help me with pulseaudio [08:29] wizzo50: I don't know. [08:29] I am very grateful for all the help! Keep up the excellent work peeps! :) [08:29] Blizzerand_ heh heh...thanks :) [08:30] Sassy: have fun! [08:30] seidos: What time tomarow night will you be on here? [08:30] * Blizzerand_ is great fan of empathy but not pidgin [08:31] What is empathy? Another Chat server? [08:31] wizzo50: I'm on every day. I'll probably on at around 7 pacific [08:31] *be [08:31] Blizzerand_: I have not tried Empathy yet. I read it's included in 9.10 instead of Pidgin...is this correct? [08:31] !empathy [08:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about empathy [08:31] seidos: Thanks for you help. ok. Talk to you another time on it. Bye [08:31] Sassy: it's another IM program.....like Pidgin. [08:31] seidos: Goodnight [08:31] Sassy: empathy is a newer instant messaging client program, not a server [08:31] Sassy : Its something better than pidgin and yes Ten-Eight , its included in 9.10 [08:32] how I get that?? [08:32] lol [08:32] Any1 here can help me with pulseaudio [08:32] heheheheh.....dontcha wanna learn Pidgin first? :) [08:32] wizzo50: I hope we can get it working. good night dude. [08:32] Sassy : Download it [08:32] When I log into Ubuntu I get a blank desktop with a mouse cursor and my wallpaper and that's it. The panels don't appear and alt + F2 doesn't work. By pressing the help button I can get a help window to appear but it is stuck in the upper left hand corner of the screen with no menu or title bars; I can't move it around or resize it. [08:32] nope.... I think it's not working for me.... It says there is an error... [08:32] is there a difference between su and sudo? [08:32] seidos: Thanks! [08:32] I can still get to the command line via ctrl+alt+F1, and using that I got gnome-panel running with some assistance. But even then the window decoration still doesn't appear. If I log in to another account the panels and window decorations do work. Thinking the problem might lie with my settings files I deleted user settings files such as .gnome and .gnome2 to no avail. [08:33] !su [08:33] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [08:33] seidos: Yes there is a difference [08:33] Sassy: Pidgin not working for you? [08:33] So seems my problem is particular to one account but not tied to the user preferences. Any suggestions? [08:33] Sassy : from terminal --> sudo apt-get install empathy , but I think you'd be better off with pidgin for now [08:33] No - I get this Error Unknown error number 1013. Logging into the Yahoo! website may fix this. [08:33] how do i know what version of kubuntu i am using? [08:33] jmarsden: do you think su vs. sudo would keep hp-setup from working right? [08:33] zaccour: lsb_release -rd [08:34] Sassy: what version of Pidgin are you using? [08:34] seidos: Pretty unlikely [08:34] HI seidos === lucas_ is now known as hellues [08:34] hi Dantonic [08:34] I'm not sure of the version [08:34] jmarsden, thanks [08:34] Sassy: mine is the latest. version 2.6.1 [08:34] administrator__ : Did it solve the prob [08:34] is the array kernel worth installing? [08:34] zaccour: No problem. [08:34] !empathy is an instant messaging and video chat client for GNOME. In !karmic, Empathy will replace Pidgin as the default IM client. [08:34] zaccour: no [08:34] Sassy: click on HELP in the top right of the Pidgin main window [08:35] i think gyachi should be the main IM client [08:35] can i install gyachi in kubuntu? [08:35] Just A sec [08:35] zaccour : Never tried that lol [08:35] Pidgin 2.5.5 [08:35] hey seidos, never got that network to fire back up after suspend. I remember last time before I left for work you had some kind of other suggestion... you said something along the lines of: if I knew it was gonna be this difficult I would have had you do ...something... What where you talking about would you remind me? [08:35] seidos, if you remember [08:35] Sassy: yeah...you need a later version. [08:35] zaccour : Is it in ubuntu repos [08:36] i installed something with 'python setup.py install' how do i uninstall it? [08:36] how do I get it Ten-Eight [08:36] ?? [08:36] Blizzerand_: No, http://array.org/ubuntu/ [08:36] rww: I wanna write the command that copy the current address to other place what should I do? [08:36] Blizzerand_, no i had to install it from sourceforge before [08:36] Sassy: visit the Pidgin website - http://www.pidgin.im [08:36] Dantonic: ohhh yeah. [08:37] i'm new to kde but so far it looks better than gnome [08:37] Sassy: download from there. [08:37] Dantonic: what did we talk about? I don't recall? [08:37] mostafa_: I don't know what you mean, can you rephrase? [08:37] oops -? [08:37] seems a bit slower though [08:37] Thanks Ten-Eight - You're AWESOME!!! [08:37] I still have to figure out how to check my log in irssi [08:37] hi [08:37] seidos, cant remember we tried a bunch of things then we never where able to get it to work... I think you asked me to see the "interface" file or something? [08:37] rww: I wanna copy a folder contents to other place ok? [08:38] Sassy: when you go there, you'll get instructions on how to get the latest version. Just follow along and you'll be good. [08:38] jmarsden : What was that link about [08:38] how do i unmount my sd card in kde? [08:38] Dantonic: ohhh yeah, ethernet port not working after suspend [08:38] Dantonic: but after restarting it works, right? [08:38] mostafa_: "cp -R /path/to/source /path/to/destination" [08:38] Dantonic: do you have a posting on the forums? [08:38] anyone knows how to gadmin openvpn client works?i cannot find any tutorial on the web [08:38] rww: yeah I know this [08:38] Thanks Ten_Eight!! More than Thankful!!! Bless!! [08:38] "Is it in Ubuntu repos" (regarding the array kernel) [08:38] seidos, yes that's right. I don't have post on forums but I have a bug listed [08:38] Sassy: your very welcome :) [08:38] jmarsden, no [08:39] rww: I wanna put it in the script [08:39] Dantonic: you may want to list something on the forums too...attack the problem at all angles :). [08:39] jmarsden : Just for security reasons , sorry [08:39] seidos, good Idea, think I'll do that [08:39] I keep getting a network error [08:39] rww: and when ever I run that script it copies the folder cnotent in that current address [08:39] rww: got me? [08:39] Dantonic: what is your user name on the forums? [08:40] * Blizzerand_ yawns [08:40] Sassy: you will...the old version you have will not connect to the Yahoo IM server as Yahoo made some changes recently. [08:40] Dantonic: I'm going to bed. I'm thinkingfrog on the forums. good luck, good night all [08:40] seidos, to be quite frank I've never posted there, so I'll have to create one [08:40] !yawn [08:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about yawn [08:40] Hi !

[09:02] moonos: Since theres no one in #e17 and #moonos doesn't exist, your best bet is still #lxde for answers. [09:02] genii: ...

[09:20] aaron113- check your keyboard, and mouse are actually working. [09:20] Artemis3: there i can just + or - Sound ... but i need to change outputs [09:20] Artemis3: That adjusts levels not which physical jack maps to which input or output :) [09:21] jmarsden: someone say me its possible to change outputs with pulseaudo so i installed it :S but i cant find how to change it :S [09:21] how to format a usb drive (to prepare it for a bootable installation) in ubuntu ? [09:22] racha, those things... hmm are shown in alsamixer too, if you see some without volume but just some value you can change, such as input from linein vs mic, etc. i forgot exactly and it does change with different cards [09:22] racha, and press TAB too [09:22] racha: It's possible pulseaudio can do that, but I don't know the specifics, my audio card doesn't do software jack remapping. [09:23] racha, its pg-up pd-dn to change the values once you find them [09:23] i'm having problems with this new widescreen monitor I bought. When KDM loads I can get to the login screen just fine with the max resolution of the monitor, but when KDE loads the screen gets all distorted as if it is out of the range of the monitor. Setting it in Xorg.conf seems to do the same with anything above 1024x768. How can I get into KDE with 1366x768 like it should be? [09:24] Artemis3: u talk about alsamixer -c 0 ? there is Card: HDA NVidia but i need to config My C-Media sound card not onboard one ... or PulseAudio [09:24] racha, then its not 0 :) might be 1? you have more than one it seems [09:26] /msg ubottu help [09:27] pengwyn: That had a space at the front, try without the space :) [09:27] how can i see if someone is shhing in my machine? [09:27] hi guys [09:27] Artemis3: i can just change it to use Mic out as Bass/C and Linein as L/R [09:27] Keiffer: If they actually logged in, w will show their login session. [09:27] nevermind I got it working yay! the stupid monitor says it is capable of 1366x768 but it's only capable of 1360x768. so setting it to that setting worked. Stupidity of AOC [09:27] Keiffer: Also read /var/log/auth [09:27] thank you, jmarsden [09:27] Artemis3, but i dont need to get it like on http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/7892/windowsvu.jpg [09:28] racha, i don't know if the alsa driver can handle those things for your card model, you did press TAB so views changes to ALL no? [09:29] jmarsden- Bot's working now. I had to open dialog. duh [09:29] Artemis3: there is no Option for that .. but someone told me i can du that with pulseaudio ... but idk. how :S [09:29] whats the model? [09:29] When I log into Ubuntu I get a blank desktop with a mouse cursor and my wallpaper and that's it. The panels don't appear and alt + F2 doesn't work. By pressing the help button I can get a help window to appear but it is stuck in the upper left hand corner of the screen with no menu or title bars; I can't move it around or resize it. [09:29] (lspci) [09:29] I can still get to the command line via ctrl+alt+F1, and using that I got gnome-panel running with some assistance. But even then the window decoration still doesn't appear. If I log in to another account the panels and window decorations do work. Thinking the problem might lie with my settings files I deleted user settings files such as .gnome and .gnome2 to no avail. [09:30] So seems my problem is particular to one account but not tied to the user preferences. Any suggestions? === charl0ss is now known as hottoboyz [09:31] Logomachist- Delete / Rebuild the account for the one user [09:31] Logomachist- Create a new account and test [09:32] Logomachist- or Maybe if you were messing with the settings, just CTR-ALT-BACKSPACE to reload the xserver [09:33] Any1 here can help me with pulseaudio [09:34] !sound [09:34] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums. [09:36] pengwyn: ok just type in a terminal :sudo aptitude/apt-get install x11vnc [09:36] James147: I wanna write this command "sudo shutdown -r now" and ofcourse before doing that I want to ask the user to do this or not how could I do that? [09:36] pengwyn: i use aptitude [09:37] Whats the difference between aptitude and apt-get ? [09:37] racha : try ubuntu froums , those guys may be able to help you out [09:37] I wanna write this command "sudo shutdown -r now" and ofcourse before doing that I want to ask the user to do this or not how could I do that? [09:37] aaron113- you don't want me connecting to your box man [09:37] ok [09:37] nut [09:37] *but [09:37] This is just a vm, but hey, I don't want to be on your files. [09:37] You can test yourself can't ya? [09:38] pengwyn: do you know why im having that problem [09:38] phux: aptitude has different (more complex) dependency handling, but they are both tools that do the same task. [09:38] how can i install opera 10 in xubuntu [09:38] I would assume bad rules for the X11 [09:38] Or bad iptables rules [09:38] ace__: go to the oepra website and downoad the .deb file [09:38] opera* [09:38] I wanna write this command "sudo shutdown -r now" and ofcourse before doing that I want to ask the user to do this or not how could I do that? [09:39] pengwyn: then why isnt it working [09:39] i like apt-get more, as i have seen aptitude going real crazy trying to "solve" dependencies [09:39] mostafa_: that question makes no sense [09:39] aaron113- does it connect [09:39] duckx0r: why ? [09:39] mostafa_: Read a good guide to bash scripting such as http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ [09:39] But is that safe?.I mean i cannot find opera in synaptic [09:39] mostafa_: you want to ask the user to do this or that? what do you mean? [09:40] opera has a repo in their own page i think, or a .deb [09:40] ace__: perfectly safe, yes. [09:40] pengwyn: yes it connects to a computer very fast but i cant control it [09:40] aaron113- and your keys and mouse are in a kvm right? [09:40] Artemis3: yes, you are right, they have a repo too [09:40] Thanks alot duckx0r. [09:40] ace__: opera is in the canoncial-repo (imo) [09:40] This night, I had my laptop updating from 9.04 to 9.10 on battery power. It had about three to four hours of power left when it started installing packages (stated: remaining 40 minutes). Today morning I started it and just goes into an empty black screen with a white underscore in the upper left corner instead of booting up the kernel. Taking a look into GRUB, it only has kernels from 2.6.28-11 through 2.6.28-15, which is weird because it shoul [09:40] d have updated to 2.6.30 - any suggestions? [09:40] pengwyn: whats a kvm? [09:41] okay your keys and mouse are directly connected to the cpu right? [09:41] duckx0r: I wanna restart but before that I want to ask the user to do this or not? and ofcourse this is a script command [09:41] aaron113: Kernel Virtual Machine [09:41] hi [09:41] ace__, also i suggest you give midori a try ^^ [09:41] any1 knowe why is my Flash Videos Laggy :S ? [09:41] jmarsden- Keyboard Video Mouse Switch [09:41] mostafa_: if users are using sudo, they should know what they are doing before they try to restart [09:42] pengwyn: kernel virtual machien? [09:42] Installing midori right now. [09:42] racha, could be many things, but dont try fullscreen (flash sucks) [09:42] aaron113- No. Keyboard Video Mouse Switch [09:42] Hmmm... depends on context, I suppose. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [09:42] hum. after booting on Ubuntu's dvd, and selecting "install ubuntu" , I got a grey screen with a white rectangle in the upper left corner and a laggish round cursor. Doesn't look like normal behavior [09:42] In the Ubuntu world, KVM is a virtualization technology... [09:42] pengwyn: never done that before? [09:43] Artemis3 : i knowe ... but all my videos on Youtube are lagy :S how to fix that ? [09:43] where 1 key does a ton of boxen [09:43] duckx0r: K but i just wanna to prompt the user that's all [09:43] Doin it now . [09:43] duckx0r: how could I prompt? [09:43] (cough) [09:43] racha, which video card? [09:43] pengwyn: why not try vnc [09:43] mostafa_: Learn bash. Especially the read buildin. Tyep help read for some info on that. [09:44] Artemis : ATI X1650 [09:44] aaron113- I have hardware [09:44] mostafa_: i don't think that you can. if a user is issuing a shutdown command, they should know that that's what they want to do [09:44] ubuntu 关闭不需要 的 服务 已经安装了sysv-rc-conf [09:44] pengwyn: ? :o [09:44] mostafa_: especialy if they are sudo'ing to do it [09:44] duckx0r: Of course you can ask users a question in a shell script... [09:44] 怎么关闭阿 那么多的 运行等级 [09:44] pengwyn: no i meant we both try it [09:44] racha, ouch, im not expert with catalyst.. [09:44] wangjian2012: noone can read thAt sorry [09:45] jmarsden: i think he was saying in the shutdown command itself though [09:45] seeing thoses kanjis, but not understanding them, indeed [09:45] aaron113- I could try it, you could give me your nfo to logon, and I could delete or snatch your files. That's not what you want dude. [09:45] might be chinese... [09:45] duckx0r: No, he wants to know how to write shell scripts without actually learning bash :) [09:45] jmarsden: lol ahh yeah i think i see what you mean now [09:45] no looks like japaniese [09:46] !cn | wangjian2012 [09:46] wangjian2012: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [09:46] duckx0r: how could I prompt the user to press sth can you help me with this? [09:46] aaron113- looks like big 5 [09:46] mostafa_: The read command... help read [09:46] its chinese, see, no hiraganas :) [09:46] pengwyn: ? what! [09:46] pengwyn: pm cani [09:46] pengwyn: can i pm u [09:46] y [09:47] pengwyn: private [09:47] mostafa_: just do a google search on bash programming and learn how to give the user a prompt [09:48] duckx0r: thanks for your help;) [09:48] mostafa_: you have to create a script that will ask the user whether or not to continue and if so, issue the shutdown command. they'll also have to enter their password too since it uses sudo (and be a member of the wheel group) [09:49] man... why couldn't i remember yesterday that the name of the group was wheel? [09:49] duckx0r: yeah exactly I want to do such thing [09:49] жопа какая то [09:49] mostafa_: unfortunately you're going to have to learn how to program a bit [09:50] duckx0r: Because in Ubuntu, there is no wheel group? [09:50] duckx0r: I wanna prompt the user that if he don't want to reboot press N and then it cancels the restart [09:50] jmarsden, there is adm :) [09:50] duckx0r: there is no wheel in Ubuntu [09:50] mostafa_: help read # I already told you what command to use to prompt the user and get his response. [09:51] there's a wheel group in my kubuntu 8.04 :P [09:51] !ru grizm [09:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about ru grizm === iruan_ is now known as iruan [09:51] !ru |grizm [09:51] grizm: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [09:51] duckx0r: He means "by default, there is no wheel group" [09:51] Chibble: But there is 'admin' [09:51] duckx0r: Then you added it. I don't know of a default Ubuntu install that creates a wheel group. [09:51] grawity: I will state it again for you. There is no wheel group in Ubuntu. [09:51] duckx0r: So telling others they need to be in a wheel group is a bad idea. [09:51] This night, I had my laptop updating from 9.04 to 9.10 on battery power. It had about three to four hours of power left when it started installing packages (stated: remaining 40 minutes). Today morning I started it and just goes into an empty black screen with a white underscore in the upper left corner instead of booting up a login shell. Taking a look into GRUB, it only has kernels from 2.6.28-11 through 2.6.28-15, which is weird because it sh [09:51] ould have updated to 2.6.30. Manually selecting 2.6.28-15 (recovery) hangs up at "[ 9.54600] sd 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg1 type 0". Manually selecting 2.6.28-15 it shows the ubuntu loading bar (not progress bar) and goes into the black screen then. [09:52] jmarsden: thank you, you are right I should go and learn more ;) [09:52] jmarsden: k my mistake [09:52] Chibble: I know that. But there is an "admin" group, which is for all purposes the same thing. [09:52] mostafa_: then I come back ;) [09:52] why would you update distro on battery power? thats crazy :P [09:52] grawity: for the last time I will state: There is no wheel group in Ubuntu. Please drop the matter. [09:52] * grawity sighs [09:52] I didn't even start it. [09:52] duckx0r: jmarsden: thank you both [09:53] lol [09:53] ManDay, i say, dl rc5 and install fresh [09:53] but that's weird because i remember removing a user from the wheel group and then they were unable to sudo in my kubuntu 8.04 install and i don't remember adding the group... [09:53] i mean alpha 5 [09:53] Artemis3, rc5 is what? the kernel? [09:53] or jaunty? [09:53] no no karmic [09:53] alpha 5 [09:54] or the latest [09:54] i beg your pardon but how could i download karmic? [09:54] oh [09:54] would i have to do it manually? [09:54] Karmic Alpha 6 in 1 1/2 week [09:54] or is there something like a live-install package? [09:54] Artemis3: But that would potentially lose all ManDay's data on the laptop! That's not really a solution to a non-booting machine with an existing OS and data on it. [09:54] ManDay, http://distrowatch.com/ubuntu [09:54] jmarsden, screw the data [09:54] ManDay: karmic is still in alpha, so it's not recommended unless you are testing it [09:55] anyone gay [09:55] plz [09:55] well he can always backup first from the live cd [09:55] I was just planning to get jaunty fresh and then update that again. [09:55] anyone gay [09:55] plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz [09:55] duckx0r, i want the INTEL graphics fixed. 2d performance is horrible [09:55] ManDay : : http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic/alpha-5/ [09:55] and he was going into 9.10 anyway... [09:55] * grawity tries to decide between !ot and !ops [09:55] ManDay: do they fix that in karmic? [09:56] yes its for testing, no one should be upgrading into 9.10 unless the data doesnt matter and can be wiped, etc. [09:57] grawity: in future use either one as you see fit. However, do not clog the channel with your "ruminations" on the matter. Thank you. [09:57] grawity: ops is simple [09:57] And actually, when you finish installing karmic, you have to fsck once because of a silly bug :P [09:58] Artemis3: lol that is rather silly [09:58] and yes, it seems intel is better with 9.10 [09:58] Chibble: And that's kinda the reason why I took it to PM. [09:58] hi! is it a french version of ubuntu channel? [09:59] hi! is it a french version of ubuntu channel? [09:59] davidscott: Try #ubuntu-fr [09:59] davidscott: And there's really no need to repeat your messages. [09:59] Artemis3: ooh that's good. does it support compiz? [09:59] grawity: please ask before PMing me in future. Thank you.

[10:00] SO question i just installed 9.10 on acer one and of course wireless drivers arent working try to install madwifi and doesnt want to accept any ideas ? [10:00] I gotta problem with my computer freezing up my mouse and keyboard stops working when I start to play mp3 using any player in Ubuntu 9.04 [10:01] tomas1: install mozila thunder bird [10:01] ok will try [10:01] can anyone help me [10:01] tomas1: it is the best [10:01] anyone? [10:01] i have that but its not what i ment [10:01] aaron113: he said a mail server, not a mail client [10:01] nemesis1911- what kind of power supply you got? [10:01] !wait | MadGu [10:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about wait [10:01] nemesis1911: no [10:01] aaron113: I have tried to help you two times. Both times you refused to perform the simple tasks I outlined. Once more; please find out your specific input hardware. [10:02] nemesis1911: sorry didn' see your first comment. ignore me. [10:02] chibble aaron was here last night he is kinda thick headed when it comes to being helped [10:02] When I log into Ubuntu I get a blank desktop with a mouse cursor and my wallpaper and that's it. The panels don't appear and alt + F2 doesn't work. By pressing the help button I can get a help window to appear but it is stuck in the upper left hand corner of the screen with no menu or title bars; I can't move it around or resize it. [10:02] I can still get to the command line via ctrl+alt+F1, and using that I got gnome-panel running with some assistance. But even then the window decoration still doesn't appear. If I log in to another account the panels and window decorations do work. Thinking the problem might lie with my settings files I deleted user settings files such as .gnome and .gnome2 to no avail. [10:02] duckx0r, yes, it's said to be fixed. Otherwise I wouldn't update [10:02] So seems my problem is particular to one account but not tied to the user preferences. Any suggestions? [10:02] Logomachist: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:02] dude dont flood [10:02] its a 300w [10:02] Hi Everyone [10:03] where do i get exim4 [10:03] Logomachist- Make A NEW ACCOUNT and TEST [10:03] google it tomas1 [10:03] Canadian_Trenche: I thought he was being deliberately obtuse. As I was giving him instructions he was insulting me. [10:03] aaron113: I will still help you, but you *must* perform the tasks asked of you [10:03] and does it run on the desktop version [10:03] >.> yeah same as last night [10:04] nemesis1911- Maybe not enough? for all your drives and usb? [10:04] Logomachist: what WM are you using? [10:04] aaron113: and, for your own security, do *not* keep asking people to connect to your machine. [10:04] Canadian_Trenche: Sorry, didn't think 3 lines were unreasonable. I'll write it all in one clump next time. [10:04] Logomachist: err desktop environment i mean [10:04] hey when i press ctrl+alt+f1 i m in konsole mode. But how to come back to KDE mode ? [10:04] Ok, I'm downloading the Karmic install CD. [10:04] Chibble: i didnt ask anyone [10:04] ctrl - alt - f7, shrey [10:04] Logomachist- have you tested by making a new user account? [10:04] ManDay: realy! [10:05] pengwyn: I already did make a new account. The new account works decently, I'm trying to figure out what is wrong with the old one. [10:05] pengwyn : I don't have a lot pluged in.. it just does it when I play MP3 when I play movies its fine [10:05] hello, can anybody have any experiences for intel gm45 graphic driver. i have a sloppy picture in HD flash movies on youtube ... [10:05] duckx0r: I'm using the default Ubuntu environment. [10:05] is there something like computer janitor for kubuntu? [10:05] I assume there isn't any way to strip the ubuntu installation down to a set of essentials apart from installing it all manually, is there? [10:05] I would like to create my own remixed ubuntu [10:05] Logomachist- what window manager? [10:05] Karmin is Gnome or KDE. [10:05] !mini | ManDay [10:05] ManDay: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [10:05] !remaster > NumLock [10:05] rm -rf ~/.kde .gnome [10:05] NumLock, please see my private message [10:05] ah! [10:06] Myrtti, something like that available for Karmic? [10:06] ManDay: ask in #ubuntu+1 ? [10:06] Karmic is Gnome or KDE ? i m using Kubuntu KDE so should i switch to Karmic, if yes than why? [10:06] or rename them SORRY Logomachist [10:06] shrey: no [10:06] aaron113: I'll tell you in channel. Write it down, or copy and paste it somewhere. The "lshw" and "lspci" commands will aid you in the first instance [10:06] shrey: karmic is the name of an upcoming release [10:06] shrey, karmic discussion in #ubuntu+1 [10:06] bazhang: can i release my iso when finished? [10:06] shrey: when it is released, you can switch if you want [10:06] shrey: it's either [10:07] pengwyn: By window manager do you mean Gnome or compiz? Sorry I'm not exactly sure of Linux terminology. [10:07] NumLock, share with others? sure why not [10:07] Canadian_Trenche, in the zg5s i tried with 9.10, wireless work out of the box [10:07] Myrtti: thanks [10:07] Logomachist: Compiz is the window manager, GNOME is the entire desktop environment. [10:07] gnome, kde, e, poisonbox, etc [10:07] grawity: OK. [10:08] pengwyn: GNOME is not a window manager. [10:08] hi. synaptic 0.62.5 that comes with ubuntu 9.04 keeps selecting Preferences>"consider recommended packages as dependencies" while i keep unselecting it. what could be the reason (my systems is updated) ? [10:08] bazhang: cool, once i've compiled my iso can i share it streight away? [10:08] Logomachist: (And if you turn off Compiz, you get Metacity, the simpler window manager) [10:08] NumLock, of course [10:08] these are called Desktop Envireoments (Metacity would be the default Window Manager) [10:08] pengwyn: I'm sorry, what did you want me to rename? .gnome and .kde files? [10:08] :) [10:09] pengwyn: .gnome I deleted earlier [10:09] Logomachist- I suggested you try to rename the window manager config files [10:09] Logomachist- Or the entire account [10:09] Chibble: i didnt see anything about touch pad or mouse [10:09] pengwyn: What exactly should I rename and where do I find it? [10:10] beyond that, you'll have to compare to find WHAT went wrong [10:10] aaron113: please direct all further questions to grawity. Good day to you [10:10] /home/theaccountyourtalkingabout [10:10] pengwyn: WIll do that now. [10:10] grawity: you there [10:10] I'm looking to install the very latest apache, as ubuntu doesn't come with the very latest version, if someone types tasksel and selects LAMP, will ubuntu over-wright the apache install or error out that apache is already installed? [10:10] my upgrade of hardy to intrepid and then to jaunty disabled the unified button for IM status indicator + shutdown button how can I recover that? [10:10] can anyone give a reason why i shouldn't upgrade from jaunty to karmic? [10:10] Wait [10:10] Logomachist- Wait [10:11] S33K3R: because the stable version isnt redy or comeout yet [10:11] S33K3R, its not released; discussion of karmic in #ubuntu+1 [10:11] If you already have one working in a test account you could just rename stuff. nevermind. [10:11] aaron113: ? [10:11] account juggle [10:11] nm [10:11] grawity: chibble said you could help me [10:13] I'm looking to install the very latest apache, as ubuntu doesn't come with the very latest version, if someone types tasksel and selects LAMP, will ubuntu over-wright the apache install or error out that apache is already installed? === pingu is now known as Guest77509 [10:13] does anybody have any experience about intel gm45 video chipset ? [10:13] Can someone tell me the name of the (Windows) tool which puts an iso onto a thumbdrive and makes it bootable? [10:14] ManDay: Unetbootin is the most popular one. [10:14] grawity, thanks thats exactly what i was thinking of [10:14] grawity: please see my private mesage. [10:15] ManDay: unetbootin [10:15] Does the mini-installation support the same drivers for Wireless as the normal one? [10:19] hi [10:19] hi [10:19] please how can i know where is my grub 1.5 installed? [10:20] miguelonnnn, /boot/ [10:20] /boot/grub ? [10:20] i don't have boot [10:20] ah yeah you mean the folder [10:20] ok xd [10:20] thanks [10:20] esto no va tio [10:20] le doy a aceptar y no pasa nada [10:21] que es eso dcc? [10:21] miguelonnnn, wrong chat window? [10:21] no me deja aceptarlo [10:21] sryy [10:21] sryyyyyyyy [10:21] Hi All - can someone please tell me if there is a sudo apt-get install for a CD burning program please???? [10:21] brasero [10:21] Sassy: Brasero is already included with Ubuntu. [10:21] Sassy, are you using gnome or kde? [10:21] Sassy: The package name is 'brasero'. If you're on Kubuntu, K3B may be better. [10:21] umm.... gnome i think [10:21] k3m in kde [10:22] k3b ha I mean [10:22] pengwyn: I renamed my home directory, and when I logged in things were worse than before- I didn't even have wallpaper. So I changed the directory back to the way it was, logged in again, and now am back to the original problem: no panels and no window decoration. Do you recommend turning off compiz? If so, how do I do that? [10:22] Thanks Guys... dumb arsed me.... my bestie just found it for me lol!!! thanks heaps!! === xuckx0r is now known as duckx0r [10:23] Hello, i'm having some sound problems on ubuntu. running 9.04, i can do the sound tests, but VLC has no audio [10:23] Logomachist- renamed /home ? not that. [10:23] No, /home/username [10:23] oh okay [10:23] you scared me there [10:23] Logomachist: sudo apt-get purge compiz # will uninstall compiz if that is what you want to try === mue_ is now known as mue [10:24] ya [10:24] jmarsden: I guess? [10:24] don't guess [10:25] Logomachist, this is what I would do: log into your test account and copy the hidden folders over from your old user's account one by one and log in every time until you can reproduce the error, then you know that's the culprit folder. then you can either delete it or try to fix it [10:25] dux0r = spot on [10:26] is it a missing symbolic link? [10:27] Logomachist, also, have you checked your log files? they might say something about what's going on [10:28] xorg.conf's are fun to make now [10:28] hai guys [10:28] I am new to IRC .... [10:28] duckx0r: Have not checked log files. That's a good idea. Where would these log files be stored? [10:28] Logo /var/log [10:28] /var/log/messages [10:28] This is the first time I am here in am IRC [10:28] macs: Welcome to Freenode, then [10:29] duckx0r: kk. ::runs off to check log files:: [10:29] Thanks... [10:29] Hai ..can you help me to register a nick name [10:29] i installed yahoo messenger.exe using wine in jaunty, but its not working. what could be wrong? [10:30] S33K3R: lol never heard of a person doing that! [10:30] macs /msg nickserv help [10:30] macs, type /msg nicserv help [10:30] lol [10:30] err what pengwyn said [10:30] type where ...... [10:30] hi there; quick question: i installed ubuntu 9.04 which came with gnome; and I d like to try kde; what's the easiest way to do so? [10:30] I amusing Pidgin [10:30] kandjar`: use xubuntu [10:31] i forgot my root passwd is there a way to change it [10:31] ? [10:31] er wait kandjar` , kubuntu [10:31] :) [10:31] macs: Type commands in the box below - in the same box where you type messages. [10:31] kandjar`, type sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [10:31] aaron113: Yes. [10:31] kandjar`: ubuntu = gnome, kubuntu = kde, xubuntu = xcfe [10:31] :) [10:31] Oky [10:31] then grawity how [10:31] /msg nickserv help [10:31] pubuntu = poison box? [10:31] macs: Without spaces before :\ [10:31] lmao [10:32] Doc-Saintly: i know that :) but i dont feel like reinstalling ubuntu :P [10:32] duckx0r: I see nothing funny in that. [10:32] kandjar`: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, like you've been told already. [10:32] I think they just need to make a 'ask me what window manager to install ubuntu' :) AmwWmtIbuntu [10:32] grawity, you have no sense of humour then [10:32] grawity- sorry [10:32] grawity: how do you change ur root passwd [10:32] grawity: :) oops didnt see it :) [10:32] duckx0r: My sense of humor doesn't include laughing at someone who typo'd a command. [10:32] thanks I got some help .. [10:32] let me read it [10:32] thanks grawity, duckx0r :) i ll give it a try [10:32] aaron113: boot live cd and chroot over and set it.. or use rescue mode perhaps. [10:32] grawity, mine does [10:33] aaron113: how did you set it the first time? root has no password by default its 'disabled' === franek is now known as ors [10:33] duckx0r: Yours is a strange sense of humor, then. [10:33] grawity, it's "special" [10:33] hi,how can i use xvesa in ubuntu? [10:33] (I ain't laughing, I gave out rm's ) [10:33] Dr_Willis_Arch: there is no need for that [10:33] aaron113: no need for what? [10:33] tried to say wait though [10:33] i know thereis another way for it [10:34] aaron113: you mean the actual 'root' users password . or the initial 'admin user' password? [10:34] If the admin user can still sudo , you can set other users password via sudo passwd username [10:35] I think it's in Kee-Pass [10:35] Dr_Willis_Arch, i think you can set the root password that way too [10:35] Dr_Willis_Arch: no remember u type in su in a terminal and it promts the user to a passwd and now i forgot that passwd can u tell me how to change it back? [10:35] hi === root is now known as Guest89134 [10:35] duckx0r, grawity: i suppose if I want to try xcfe I should do: apt-get xubuntu-desktop? is it easy to switch between the different wm? [10:36] aaron113: set the users password with sudo passwd $username [10:36] !u | aaron113 [10:36] aaron113: U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' or 'Ur' are words in the English language. Nor are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'Ne1' or 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. [10:36] kandjar`, yes very easy [10:36] kandjar`, you select them when you log in [10:36] ok :) nice :) [10:36] aaron113: 'su -' would want the 'root' users actual password. There is no root users actual password by default. Unless you set one. If you set one, then need to 'reset' it - you can use one of the 3 ways i mentioned. live cd, rescue mode, or sudo passwd username [10:37] kandjar, try poisonbox ;o) [10:37] poisonbox? [10:37] aaron113, do you mean "su" or "sudo"? [10:37] ikonia: thank you very much [10:37] oh yeah, poisonbox [10:38] pengwyn, what is poisonbox? [10:39] duckx0r- it's a window manager . hard core [10:39] !info posionbox [10:39] Package posionbox does not exist in jaunty [10:39] :) [10:39] pengwyn, must be hard core. it doesn't even show up on the first page of google [10:39] !info poisonbox [10:39] Package poisonbox does not exist in jaunty [10:39] lol [10:39] how to i get my iPhone to work with Ubuntu 9.04 [10:39] then look up poisonbox [10:40] It runs on somethin around here [10:40] pengwyn, that's what i searched for === nsh_ is now known as nsh- [10:41] http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&rls=en&hs=4WP&q=ubuntu+poisonbox+window+manager&btnG=Search [10:41] (cough) [10:41] !iphone | nemesis1911 [10:41] nemesis1911: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [10:41] Fravia spanks ye [10:42] Remember that since you cannot use IRQs or DMA in a user-mode program, you will probably have to write a kernel driver to use ECP/EPP; I think someone is writing such a driver what does this mean? i think i can open my parallel port and use it whenever i want [10:42] rat poison poison box same thing [10:42] heh [10:43] Hello :) [10:43] i just need to open the port and read data [10:43] "Do it! dont like the window manager? use rat poison." [10:43] pengwyn: why do you keep saying rat poison [10:43] How do I turn on the ftp server in ubuntu ? [10:43] ikonia- I'm sorry [10:43] TruthLiker: which one did you install ? [10:44] checking...

[10:45] i just found it [10:45] Installing mini-ubuntu what hostname should i specify as the source for downloading ubuntu? [10:45] nemesis1911: then don't recommend it until you know it works [10:45] ManDay: mini-ubuntu ?

[10:46] ManDay: pick any repo you want then, I assume you mean the minimal install [10:46] !minimal | ManDay [10:46] ManDay: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD).

[10:49] thankls [10:50] ManDay, how can a repo have a hostname? [10:50] manday I start with proxy.org [10:50] ikonia, that page you gave me is more or less useless [10:50] it describes activating sources in ubuntu [10:50] ManDay: no it's not [10:50] pengwyn: proxy.org is not an repo [10:50] This is Logomachist logging in from the affected computer. I checked var/log/messages and it doesn't have anything older than a day ago, so I can't compare what it looked like before the problems started to what it's looking like now. Even so I don't see anything suspicious. In case any of you wanted to take a look at it, if you want. Give me an email addy and I'll email it to you. [10:50] lemme look what mine is ManDay, I know ikonia . Shush [10:51] thanks pengwyn [10:51] (For some reason I can't get pastebin working) [10:51] i ONLY need the hostname though!i [10:51] it only asks me for a hostname === andrew_ is now known as Guest41219 [10:51] ManDay: there are many repo's on the web, you can see some listed in the exmaple page I gave you [10:52] [!!] Choose a mirror of the Ubuntu archive : Please enter the hostname of the mirror from which Ubuntu will be downloaded.

[10:53] ManDay, still ubuntu.com here crap.. I seen some .de's [10:54] Logo2, the only other thing I could think of is renaming your configuration folders, which is essentially the same thing [10:54] duckxOr: Well I'll go try that. Wish me luck. [10:54] Logo2, also keep in mind that if you copy the folders over to the other account that the permissions are changed to the test user's as well [10:55] how do i add a fourm in ubuntufourm [10:55] aaron113: add a forum ?

[10:58] it's still ubuntu.com [10:58] i also need to enter a directory! [10:58] ManDay: /ubuntu [10:58] yeah [10:58] heh [10:58] finally! [10:58] thanks [10:58] ManDay: you need to start searching the web for the right information, the point of the minimal CD is to know all this in advance [10:58] <[Spooky]> Can i have moving images as a wallpaper in 9.04? [10:59] iso into a virtualmachine is nice [10:59] why does compiz.real constantly use 3% of my CPU even when i'm not doing anything? [10:59] unimatrix: it's a process - it needs cpu to you and just draw the screen [10:59] [Spooky]: there is a trick to do this, but it's quite a resource hog [10:59] [Spooky]: you can even do it with a movie file [11:00] ewww a movie file as a desktop wallpaper? [11:00] ikonia, well i'm sorry but even Vista's Aero doesn't require so much CPU === pheonix is now known as a === a is now known as pheonix [11:00] unimatrix: the window manager for windows it broke down differently so you can't compare like that [11:00] unimatrix: disable it if you don't like it === sharperguy2 is now known as sharperguy === pheonix is now known as PHEONIX === ubuntu_904 is now known as c_nick [11:01] ikonia, i need it because without it even moving a window will cause the CPU to spike up to 99% [11:01] <[Spooky]> ikonia: Yes i know VLC have that option... === PHEONIX is now known as thisdotpheonix [11:01] [Spooky]: you can do it without vlc, I'm trying to find it, I've done it before but it's a real hog [11:01] hello am installing UNR on a eeepc901 but during installation mouse dont work [11:02] unimatrix: it sounds like your video card is not setup correctly [11:02] ultimatrix: aero does use more cpu in the names of other processes [11:02] unimatrix, sounds like something is wrong if you are using 99% of your cpu just to move a window [11:02] ikonia, trust me, it is [11:02] <[Spooky]> ikonia: Hehe ok.. ;) Fun to try out... [11:02] unimatrix: I doubt that very much [11:02] ultimatrix: you probably need proper drivers [11:02] [Spooky]: it was a very obscure method, tweking fbset etc etc, I'm sure I had a note on it [11:02] ikonia, unless ubuntu doesn't know how to install nvidia's drivers, it's set up correctly [11:03] ikonia, no it doesnt work [11:03] unimatrix: it can go wrong, it can select the wrong options [11:03] unimatrix, did you restart your x server after you installed them? [11:03] thats not the right directody [11:03] *directory [11:03] I still can't get sound to work on my install. I'm open to just about anything now, i've tried all the stuff i could find on the forums [11:03] ikonia, it's been like this for years [11:03] ManDay: that is the correct hostname and directory, you can even see it at http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ [11:03] I think it has to do with it selecting the OSS sound instead of ALSA for my hdmi connection [11:03] unimatrix, maybe it's time to upgrade that many years old card then? [11:03] my bad [11:03] sorry ikonia [11:03] ikonia, and i've reinstalled everything countless times... it's more likely that nvidia's drivers suck [11:03] ManDay: try setting your hostname to http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ and your directory to jaunty [11:04] unimatrix: what card is it ? [11:04] ikonia, GeForce 6600 [11:04] ultimatrix, can you post your fps results from planet penguin racer [11:04] hello.. is there a way to get a pre-compiled version of audacity 1.3.9 beta? [11:04] 6600 isn't going to handle compiz very well [11:04] duckx0r, why? [11:04] unimatrix: I've had very good results with that in the past [11:05] isn't that card like 5 years old now? [11:05] yes [11:05] but that's still fine [11:05] ok [11:05] 6600 should be able to handle compiz [11:05] duckx0r: i got an ati X200 integrated card and compiz work very well --_-- [11:05] I'm having dramas while trying to use two wifi cards on two seperate access points at the same time. I need to learn how to route in/out through specific interfaces (wlan0 and wlan1) [11:05] ultimatrix, the nvidia drivers are usually excellent - which version are you using [11:05] any tips or reading suggestions? I can't really 'explain' what I'm trying to acheive [11:06] ikonia, by "very well" you mean it's normal for compiz and Xorg to use 10% of the CPU? [11:06] all I want to use wlan0 for is to accept VNC connections for remote control [11:06] everything else I want through wlan1 [11:06] ultimatrix, it is for xorg [11:06] I'm dying here :< [11:06] twright, well then it sucks [11:06] Subdolus: you could create a firewall rule or changeroute tables [11:06] unimatrix: compiz I don't know as I don't think I ever used a 6600 with compiz, but with a native xorg config - worked fantastic [11:07] unimatrix, well does it feel slow? Stats alone are not that much help. [11:07] 大家好 [11:07] Doc-Saintly: I can? So using nm-applet to connect to one, then the other on the other interface is correct? then figure out iptables? [11:08] 你好 [11:08] twright, it sometimes feels slow with scrolling, like in rhythmbox or with longer web pages [11:08] 有中国人再就好 [11:08] !cn | happy [11:08] happy: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [11:08] unimatrix, that is probably just a bit of firefox issues === fred_ is now known as Guest97548 [11:08] twright, happens in all browsers [11:09] unimatrix: can you find out what nvidia package you have active please ? [11:09] Subdolus: I don't know at all if http://wicd.sourceforge.net/ can handle what you want to do ? [11:09] unimatrix, do the slow pages usually have flash on [11:09] twright, not necessarily [11:09] guilro: sadly no [11:09] unimatrix, it is a lot faster for me with flash block anyway [11:09] guilro: it's an excellent tool, but can't configure two interfaces like nm-applet [11:10] ikonia, 185.18.36, but it's been like this since 166 or probably even earlier [11:10] unimatrix: do you fancy doing a test - it's not 2 minutes, but I'd be interested in knowing the results ? [11:10] ikonia, yes, i'd love to [11:10] Subdolus: ok =) I have actually never used wicd [11:10] Anyone in here know math really well? [11:11] hello [11:11] unimatrix: first disable compiz - as it won't work with the test. Then in your /etx/X11/xorg.conf change the line "Driver "Nvidia" " to "Driver "nv" " [11:11] kholzer, i might know [11:11] unimatrix: reboot and see how your generic experience is [11:11] kholzer: what do you mean by very well ? [11:11] guilro: it is very nice. I hear alot of talk about being suggesting it should be the standard for Ubuntu installs [11:11] kholzer, I hope I am quite good :-) [11:11] twright, even faceboook will be enough... grab the scroll and move it up and down really fast... you will notice it lag a little behind the mouse cursor [11:11] PLEASE VIEW http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7936589#post7936589 [11:11] how do i fix "null output (pulseaudio mixer)" error [11:11] please [11:11] Lets talk more in #ubutntu-offtopic....

[11:29] 2. Abrowser-3.5 is, again, unbranded as expected, but for some reason it depends on firefox 3.0, which IS actually branded. [11:29] Is this actually a problem with the packages, or is it likely a problem with my set-up? [11:29] however ikonia why don't they fix this stupid problem??? [11:29] ikonia: how to do that [11:29] apparle: telnet $hostname 80 [11:30] wget, thats for getting webpages not ? [11:30] Doc-Saintly: Well, OK, so I guess there ARE only strange anomolies...

[11:48] if i use kde or fluxbox i have automunt issues why [11:48] Smooch1502: any tricks? i have a vista partition and a recovery partition that i can use to reinstall a diff version of windows [11:48] Guest97548: that's offtopic for this channel, there are pleanty of resource issues on the web [11:48] rek: install ubuntu and we can help you debug it [11:48] Guest97548: For starters, stick with Ubuntu and Google "Ubuntu Pocket Book" [11:48] ikonia: any hints on where to look? [11:49] Guest97548: It's free and available on PDF. [11:49] Guest97548: the internet - it's offtopic for this channel [11:49] Dan48p: do want to install ubuntu and vista again? side by side [11:49] i'm talking about my secon issue [11:49] Smooch1502: didn't mean to hit return. those are the partitions i would like to rewrite, but leave the ubuntu where its at [11:49] rek: yes, but we can't debug without information and you don't have ubuntu installed [11:49] thx [11:49] ok [11:49] Dan48p: so you have ubuntu and vista already installed? [11:49] Smooch1502: yes [11:50] i have only a few second to change that value though [11:50] Dan48p: at the grub prompt can you boot into windows vista? [11:50] Dan48p, you can try gparted if you want to repartition/format or whatever if that's what you mean [11:50] I need help with pulseaudio :) i cant get my Jack's to work Same on Windows and Ubuntu ... http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/7892/windowsvu.jpg [11:50] then my pc will crash and i must press the reset button [11:50] rek: I've told you what to do to stop that [11:50] how can i tell what graphics drivers im using [11:50] i'm explaying u my issue [11:50] Guest97548: look into /var/log/Xorg.0.log [11:50] rek: yes, and I've told you what to do to stop that [11:50] rek, you've explained it at least 6-7 times now [11:50] ok [11:50] rek: please stop and install ubuntu again if not already installed [11:51] Smooch1502: i can boot into vista if i change the bios from ide mode to the other option [11:51] achi or ahci? [11:51] ahci [11:51] gents - i am attempting to install Ubuntu's font libraries - does anyone know if the bytecode interpreter in the freetype library is enabled or disabled in Ubuntu [11:51] ivenkys: I think it's enabled [11:51] ivenkys: not %100 though === monteith_afk is now known as monteith [11:52] Dan48p: Sorry but i cannot help with this however if you wanted to re install and overright the windows partition the use gparted or just reinstall vista from the install disc? [11:52] ikonia: hmm - thanks - [11:52] Smooch1502: basically i want to install windows 7 on the vista partition [11:52] Dan48p, use gparted to format that partition then and just install it like normal [11:53] Dan48p, make sure you select the correct partition [11:53] Smooch1502: not the rc, the oem copy i guess... what they have at msdnaa [11:53] Dan48p: we can not help installing a windows OS. ask in ##windows [11:53] Dan48p: Ok well insert the iso you burnt with windows 7 and install that on the vista partition however you will loose whats on that partition [11:53] wow that file is full of info. im on radeon and i want to know if im using fglrx or the open source driver, how can i tell? [11:53] hi all, I just installed 9.04 and then went on to look for skype in the repos... I installed something called Skype-MID... it looks very strange as if it's made for some touchscreen platform. Are we desktop users meant to use this ? or install the normal version from skype.com ? thanks [11:53] hi guys, does anyone know how to autostart programs on diffrent workspaces? Like Firefox on workspace 2 and terminal on workspace 3 [11:53] Guest97548, check the command glxinfo [11:53] Smooch1502: i'm not really concerned about the vista partition really... i just want to make sure that i don't do anything to damage the linux partitions [11:54] Guest97548, type fglrxinfo in a terminal [11:54] what is the sgi vender string? [11:54] Dan48p Or use virtualbox and just install windows 7 on that, sorry but i cannot help with windows as this is a ubuntu channel [11:54] Smooch1502: ok [11:54] are u sure if i use vesa it will work? [11:54] and what resolution? [11:54] Preben: devilspie [11:54] Dan48p: i suggest virtualbox with windows 7 as windows 7 is still in rc and may contain bugs or wreck your system [11:54] blip-: skype is aviable in medibuntu [11:54] !medibuntu > blip- [11:54] blip-, please see my private message [11:55] duckx0r: it says its not installed [11:55] leaf-sheep thank you [11:55] hi all [11:55] i guess that means im on the open source driver then? [11:55] rek: it will down grade your graphics ability but should also a usable platform for debugging [11:55] "linux-generic" "linux-image-..." "linux-368" "linux-image-2.6.28" <------ which of these kernels should i pick when installing ubuntu?!? [11:55] !skype > blip- [11:55] erUSUL: ah ok got it. thanks. is anything wrong with Skype-Mid btw ? [11:55] Smooch1502, everyone recommends vbox too much particularly seeing as most people use windows for gaming [11:55] ManDay: linux-image or linux-generic [11:55] ManDay: they are all the same [11:55] Guest97548, looks like it [11:55] blip-: dunno; do not use either of them [11:55] is that called xvesa? no no but i know i have to use it [11:56] what is the difference erUSUL ? [11:56] for example in puppy it worked [11:56] rek: no - it's called vesa as I have said to you 3 times now [11:56] http://85.14.80.241 [11:56] twight: i use my older computer for these type of problems [11:56] ikonia, why would they offer the same kernel by a dozen names? [11:56] and when i rund aplay -s i get "no soundcards found..." [11:56] how can i use xvesa? [11:56] duckx0r: but wasnt ati supposed to have released a new closed driver for the later radeon cards? how can i try out that one? [11:56] i have a problem: during upgrade from gutsy to hardy the dpkg-configure can't finish its work because gettext-pl is missing [11:56] Smooch1502, much easier to dual boot (Win7 is less likely to hose a system than vista in any case) [11:56] ferret_: what is that called [11:56] rek: use vesa ! [11:56] Guest97548, type "radeon driver linux" into google [11:56] ferret_: sorry [11:56] ok but if i don't want xorg [11:56] ManDay: none as ikonia points-out. but those are the metapackages that will point allways to the last relesed kernel and avoid cluttering the grub menu [11:56] dpkg-gettext.pl [11:56] how can i use xvesa? [11:56] twight: Yes i guess but he wanted to make sure he didnt loose anything [11:57] can i fix this? [11:57] rek: enough now I am starting to think you are trolling [11:57] rek: if you want to debug your problem, follow instructions and we'll work it through [11:57] ikonia stop i've asked a question [11:57] rek: you need to install ubuntu [11:57] rek: Be nice as all users are just trying to help, they are volunteers [11:58] and then? they said me to install tinyx be kind...also you should be kind [11:58] rek: you are changing your problem - if you want to debug it, we can help [11:58] rek: follow these steps: install ubuntu first without this we cannot help [11:58] ok but i have not only one problem i have 2 problem [11:58] hi when i start ubunti i saw this boot message: chown: invalid group root:polkituser what that message meen [11:59] rek: yes, but you still need to install ubuntu, and as you say it's unsable, you still need to use the vesa xorg driver - so do it [11:59] rek: then follow the steps once installed that ikonia tells you [11:59] rek: We don't care if you have 99 problems. Install Ubuntu first. [11:59] rek: we cant help you if you dont have ubuntu installed first [11:59] ngage: using 9.10 karmic ? [11:59] ngage: it means your policy kit user doesn't exist [11:59] ok ...recovery mode is only with terminal? [11:59] rek: yes [12:00] i must do sudo gedit /etc/ [12:00] ikonia: xubuntu 8.04.3 ,how do i create policy kit? [12:00] rek: yes. it shows a menu with a few options (repair X; and drop to a root shell among them) [12:00] ngage: don't worry about it - it's just a warning [12:00] rek: you need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf as I've told you multiple times [12:00] X11/xorg.conf [12:00] i know it is warrning i had no problems [12:00] rek: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [12:01] rek: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [12:01] rek, gedit is a GUI program. you will need to use a command line program like nano [12:01] will i have nano? === netsurf3_ is now known as netsurf3 [12:01] rek yes [12:01] nano will work fine [12:01] rek: as duck said use sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [12:01] by default? [12:01] Smooch1502, gksu gedit is preferred [12:01] how can i save it then? [12:01] rek: by default ??? what are you talking about, it's a text editor [12:01] rek: use a text editor you know how to use [12:02] sorry but i'm used to leafpad and gedit [12:02] mrwes, we're talking about command line here [12:02] mrwes: Thanks for the tip but he is in recovery mode i think so he cannot open a gui program [12:02] how can i save changes in nano? [12:02] Smooch1502, so why are you telling him to use gedit ? duh [12:02] I need help with pulseaudio :) i cant get my Jack's to work Same on Windows and Ubuntu ... http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/7892/windowsvu.jpg [12:03] rek, control + X [12:03] rek: crtl + O then crtl + x to exit [12:03] thx [12:03] mrwes: lol that was a mistake, i didnt know if he was using the recovery mode before [12:03] rek: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [12:03] ;-) [12:03] rek, more than likely when you reinstall ubuntu it is just going to work for you right out of the box without even having to worry about this, so why not just install it and if it doesn't work, come back here? [12:03] rek: there is help in the botton of the editor [12:03] can anyone tell me where dpkg-gettext.pl is supposed to be in the old distributions where it still existed? [12:03] I'm fully aware how to edit from the command line [12:04] dvrcoder, try locate dpkg-gettext.pl [12:04] dvrcoder, you might need to try sudo update-db first [12:05] rek, nano gives you the basic commands at the bottom of the screen [12:05] thx [12:05] ok, i just found the dpkg-gettext.pl on another machine, I will copy it over [12:06] rek: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Nano [12:06] dvrcoder, just a question, why do you need it? [12:06] upgrade from gutsy to hardy is failing [12:06] well at least you guys didn't send him into vi :) [12:07] mrwes: Yeah, iv acturly tried both vi and nano and from my experience nano is easyer :) [12:07] because dpkg can't configure the packages because it needs that perl file [12:07] what is the difference of xubuntu to ubuntu? [12:07] Smooch1502, exactly [12:07] mrwes, whilst vi rocks that would have just been painful :-) [12:07] jezi22: ubuntu uses the gnome desktop. xubuntu uses xfce [12:07] !xfce | jezi22 [12:07] jezi22: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [12:08] jezi22: xubuntu uses xfce instead of gnome, and is a lot less demanding, so can be used on lower spec computers [12:08] jezi22: Xubuntu is a smaller or in other words just different interface that will work faster on older computers :) [12:08] dvrcoder: maybe this can help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=466947 [12:08] ow.. thanks.. :D [12:08] does anyone know which addon to get to read pgp mails on thunderbird [12:08] would do-release-upgrade do anything else after configuring the packages? [12:08] we both said pretty much the same thing [12:08] dvrcoder: they advice to copy it from the livecd.... [12:08] aaron113: enigmail ? [12:08] Smooch1502: but i said it first :D:P [12:09] dabukalam: Yeah i know but i was acturly typing it and just about to press enter but you said that just a second difference lol [12:09] Smooch1502: excuses, excuses xD [12:10] dabukalam: Ok lol [12:10] Smooch1502: :P [12:10] erUSUL: no its an older version i have the new version [12:10] aaron113: old version of what ?

[12:11] dabukalam: who u talking to [12:11] both [12:11] myself :D no hacktop [12:11] aaron113: well then you are out of luck... just keep using a version of TB compatible with enigmail [12:12] erUSUL: i wanted to sign the code of conduct [12:12] I'm converting backtrack 4 (kde) into gnome [12:12] !code [12:12] Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans, QtCreator [12:12] !conduct [12:12] The Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ [12:12] aaron113: you can do it from cli you do not need a mail client [12:12] erUSUL: whats a ci?

[12:20] erUSUL: same thing happend [12:21] I'm back [12:21] twright: Yeah :( im tired might go to bed soon, anyway im going to stop talking about this its kind of going off topic [12:21] grawity, have you tried sudo aptitude build-dep irssi [12:21] Smooch1502: Most IRC networks, including Freenode, are made of many separate IRC servers. [12:21] twright: Yep. E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list [12:21] aaron113: just copy and paste « gpg --clearsign UbuntuCodeofConduct-1.0.1.txt » (this command worksw if the file UbuntuCodeofConduct-1.0.1.txt is in the same folder as you are ) [12:21] Smooch1502: Sometimes the network splits in half (connection problems, or something like that) [12:21] I tried renaming all the directories, none of them fixed the problem.

[12:27] dabukalam: why u do that [12:28] erUSUL: i never did dled [12:28] is it possible to install ubuntu server along side ubuntu desktop + windows xp? as a dualboot [12:28] Smooch1502: Why do you want both Desktop and Server? [12:28] i you need windows xp [12:28] aaron113: you have to dl it if you want to sing it [12:28] the code of conduct [12:28] Smooch1502: possible yes, but probably also pointless. Just install the server applications on your desktop ubuntu [12:28] grawity: i need it to have ubuntu desktop and server [12:28] aaron113: https://launchpad.net/codeofconduct/1.0.1 <<< here [12:28] erUSUL: sing it?lol:D [12:29] aaron113: yes [12:29] sing [12:29] aaron113: you know english is not my mother tongue ;) [12:29] erUSUL: u make me laugh! [12:29] grawity: i want it to be in a dualboot as i still need to use the desktop for other uses [12:29] When I log into my user account I get a blank desktop with a mouse cursor and my wallpaper and that's it. The panels don't appear and alt + F2 doesn't work. By pressing the help button I can get a help window to appear but it is stuck in the upper left hand corner of the screen with no menu or title bars; I can't move it around or resize it. I can still get to the command line via ctrl+alt+F1, and using that I got gnome-panel running wi [12:30] Logo2: does it work fine with a newly created user? [12:30] erUSUL: i have to download it [12:30] jrib: It does. [12:30] aaron113: yes. cleck in the link Dwonload this version [12:30] i dont think theres a step by step tutorial how to install ubuntu server with other operating systems [12:30] Logo2: you got cut off at "gnome-panel running wi" but this means it's a configuration issue [12:30] frequency out of range message in screen after installing [12:31] qt to do ? [12:31] wt to do ?? [12:31] brijith: boot into recovery mode... choose repair Xserver in the menu [12:31] Smooch1502: did you see what I said before about there not being much point in having both desktop and server? Why *exactly* do you want both installed? [12:31] How can I have two network interfaces on two seperate networks configured simultaneously? I have wlan0 connected to the WWW and eth0 connected to a Debian box. If eth0 is up, all traffic goes to it, even if it is destined to the WWW (thus, should be using wlan0) [12:31] ... with some assistance. But even then the window decoration still doesn't appear. If I log in to another account the panels and window decorations do work. Thinking the problem might lie with my settings files I deleted user settings files such as .gnome and .gnome2 to no avail. I also renamed all the hidden directories in /home/rob (rob is my username), one at a time, to see if any of them were causing the problem. None of this broug [12:31] aaron113: done ? [12:31] erUSUL: wait im moving it to my docs [12:32] jrib: Is that better? [12:32] Logo2: you renamed all of them eventually and still encounter the issue? [12:32] jrib: Yes. [12:32] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjBoNZ7NoRs [12:32] oops [12:32] jrib: i want the desktop so i can still browse the web etc using gnome but i also want ubuntu server as a dual boot becoz having a server with ubuntu desktop uses to much ram [12:32] Logo2: that's pretty weird... Does ~/.xsession-errors throw any hints? [12:32] anyone know why i get a grey box with a big play thing with all applets in firefox? i don't want to have to click on every applet every time before it loads, i just want it to automatically load... [12:33] Should I add the canonical repositories? Trying to figure out what's different about them. [12:33] jrib: and i dont have another spare computer to have ubuntu server on [12:33] ubuntu tells me my greeter crashed. is that a security problem? [12:33] how can i test if a serial port really works? [12:33] yes [12:33] where can i check error-log? [12:33] erUSUL: done [12:33] aaron113: where did you saved the file ? [12:33] Smooch1502: but what's the point of a server that's almost never on... If you actually want to do this, it is trivial: just put in the disk and install the server on a new partition. But I don't see the point. Just disable gdm by default and any other services that bother you on the desktop [12:33] hi guys, any idea where ubuntu's config files are located for the user selected "windows manager" or say the session manager config files ? [12:34] /home/aaronvarghese/Documents [12:34] jrib: correct but i still want it dual boot with desktop and server [12:34] ZOO0828: probably in gconf... [12:34] aaron113: ok do « cd ~/Documents » and repeat the command [12:34] Smooch1502: fine, then just install it to a new partition [12:35] hey guys [12:35] is there a command that cleans and removes off old unused kernel versions and the corresponding modules, restricted and so on? [12:35] jrib: what if the default WM is KDE ? [12:35] how can i recover boot loader after windows installation [12:35] erUSUL: i have to do cd ~/Documents [12:35] ZOO0828: try #kubuntu [12:35] KDE is not a WM.

Run the same command with the working user and compare [12:42] jrib: Well, 'locale-gen en_US.utf-8' doesn't work, just fails quietly. [12:42] jrib: Add myself?

[12:52] jrib: Oh, well this account isn't. What do I need to do to make it su? [12:53] Logo2: open a terminal, type "su - BROKEN_USER", then you can use sudo with the broken user [12:53] jeromel, if you card is one of those disabled in the new version you could try 8.04 (LTS) [12:53] is there a list? [12:53] vavar: I am really interested in things like controlling devices using computers, So I need a start in this direction ,,,, [12:53] jrib: Ok, did that, now what?

[12:55] jeromel, ati have dropped support for anything older than a year [12:55] ok [12:55] brijith: that obviously depends on the kind of thing you want to control. it is most likely not related to ubuntu then. [12:56] twright, the %gconf.xml in the "panel" folder? [12:56] jrib: if a program is installed then how to i use patch file to work. it asks for which file to patch === chaky_ is now known as chaky [12:56] Logo2: you need to prefix the command with sudo...

[12:56] jrib: ooo [12:56] knuut, just delete the folder [12:56] I think it was a special feature for ASUS [12:56] twright: the whole panel folder... ok [12:56] om26er: anyway, you usually patch source code. Which means first you need to know how to rebuild packages from source. Do you know how to do that? [12:57] where can I see if my card is not supported by 9.04 ? [12:57] jeromel, they might just remove ones they no longer support [12:57] Hello [12:57] I'm trying to connect to my android phone with fastboot under my ubuntu hardy dist....

[13:00] oki [13:00] =( [13:01] is there other drivers than fglrx ? [13:01] jeromel, you could either use default one or go to lts [13:01] guys i cannot configure the gadmin openvpn client [13:02] oki [13:02] Import server certificates in the client settings first [13:02] kanas ellinas?

Now what was it you wanted me to check? [13:06] GhostWolfy, cheese ? [13:06] jeromel, I would probably recommend waiting for karmic then as new releases usually fix issues like this [13:06] geirha: as soon as you answered, I had an answer also elswhere, coincidence, :) thank zou [13:06] bazhang, yea is it called cheese or something else alltogether?? === MadMax is now known as Guest59680 [13:07] ubuntu sucks [13:07] twright: ok thx ;) How many times I will wait approximately ? =D [13:07] lucas_, wrong channel for you then [13:07] jeromel, you could try the alpha and if it does not work out of the box you can submit a bug at launchpad [13:07] GhostWolfy, cheese is one; depends on what you want to do [13:07] Logo2: alright, now try logging in with gdm and see if ~/.xsession errors provides new hints or it behaves differently at all [13:07] jeromel, well as it it is 9.10 it should be about 2 months [13:07] ok =) [13:08] jrib: I did log in, then I rebooted and logged back in on the account that works.

[13:09] jeromel: use update-manager [13:09] where is to update [13:09] jeromel, its not released, bad idea to update now [13:09] Logo2: so did it behave differently at all, or did ~/.xsession-errors differ in any way? [13:10] jeromel, you can upgrade via the command line using gksu upgrade-manager -d [13:10] bazhang: i dont have important data on this computeur for the moment [13:10] hi, guys, a straightforward Q - where is the conf file for the X to determine the selected WM? which could be modified in recovery mode, no X environment. [13:10] bazhang, do you know how to get the lighting for cheese even with all the lights i have in my room it doesn't make it very bright [13:10] WM - windows manager [13:10] jeromel, okay, that is your choice; twright and yourself should best take this discussion of karmic to #ubuntu+1 please [13:10] jeromel: if you're feeling REALLY adventurous, upgrade using update-manager -d... but don't expect support in this channel when anything breaks :P [13:11] jeromel, I would recommend a fresh install rather than an upgrade or just test on the livecd [13:11] yes I think I will try the livecd first [13:11] bazhang, we are discussing a specific driver problem anyway [13:12] jeromel, if you have issues when running the cd help can be found the in the aforementioned channel thanks [13:12] join #ubuntu-ir [13:12] jrib: It didn't behave any differently but I hadn't check ~/.xsession-errors yet- I'll do that now.

[13:14] Logo2: right [13:14] hmm.... are there supposed to be two copies of the slapd bins, one in /usr/sbin and the other in /usr/local/sbin? or did the location change in a recent version? [13:14] do you guys know which partition grub is supposed to be installed in? [13:14] Logo2: you're posting ~brokenuser/.xsession-errors right? Not ~/.xsession-errors of working user?

It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [13:21] knuut, that may be the culprit as emerald is no longer worked on or supported [13:21] knuut, I just mean that the quickest way to fix it might just be deleting your configuration so you may need to redo some stuff [13:21] jrib: It is ran. [13:21] knuut, see the message above [13:21] Logo2: then "groups" [13:21] frogzoo, it says "root disk 8, 0" [13:21] twright: emerald runs fine.. my window borders look pretty nice :-) [13:21] wow dint know emerald was unsupported [13:21] !beryl [13:21] Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion.

[13:33] ActionParsnip> I'm using Hardy so I was just curious. On a similiar note, I was only going to upgrade to the next LTS, 10.4 I believe, can I go strait from hardy or do I have to go Intrepis Jaunty Karmic...etc.? I prefer upgrade to fresh install. [13:33] why should ANY files be in /usr/local/sbin? [13:34] Why shouldn't they be there? [13:34] some nicks in the side are coluered.. i'm using x-chat [13:34] because I didn't put them there and installers usually should use /usr/sbin? [13:34] That's a good statement you got there, rek. [13:34] Logo2: what does « ls -d ~rob » return? [13:34] Logo2: what does « ls -d ~rob/.* » return? [13:35] dvrcoder: they should? [13:35] well on my second machine which also has a server install, /usr/local/sbin is empty [13:35] knuut, yes. you can select them all in nauilus if you go to edit-> select matching and type in .* [13:35] dvrcoder: Usually, it's like this: Programs installed from packages go to /usr/bin and /usr/sbin. Programs compiled from source go to /usr/local/bin and usr/local/sbin. [13:35] dvrcoder: What _exactly_ you have in local/sbin? [13:35] I am using openoffice 2.4 [13:36] dvrcoder: usually when you install something yourself outside the repositories it will end up in /usr/local/ by default [13:36] twright: im already backing up and there is 22min remaining [13:36] jrib: http://pastebin.com/m39afedf9 [13:36] got em all [13:36] no import option available [13:36] Logo2: didn't you say you renamed everything with a .? [13:37] what's the tool called to configure xorg? the gui tool [13:37] jrib: I did change all the directories (one at a time), but then I changed them back. [13:37] ranasco, there is an open office extension called pdf import, this will import a pdf as a document in writer from which you can easily copy and paste any tables into calc [13:37] jrib: http://pastebin.com/m6494843f [13:37] dvrcoder: -ENOCONTEXT [13:38] knuut, see you in 20min in that case - good luck :-) [13:38] jrib: plus some slapd binaries i just moved out [13:38] where I go to search pdf extention [13:38] zaggynl, depends on the graphics card, I suppose. [13:38] jrib: what does -ENOCONTEXT mean? [13:38] twright: if it doesnt work ill try vista ;-) ... joke [13:38] dvrcoder: it means you provided no context for our paste [13:39] jrib: it is ls /usr/local/sbin [13:39] ranasco, I would generally recommend google :-) - here it is: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/pdfimport [13:39] zaggynl, ie: for NViDIA cards, when you install the drivers, the NViDIA xconfig utility is installed too. [13:39] Logo2: well to be honest if you don't care about losing the configurations it's easier to just create a new account but otherwise rename all the . files and troubleshoot [13:39] knuut, scared me for a second there :-) [13:40] anyone knows how to get media buttons / acpi scripts to work for a dell vostro 1220? [13:40] dvrcoder: erm why is there so much stuff in your /usr/local/...? How did you install these things? [13:40] *sigh* [13:40] Hi everybody, i don't know where else find some help.

[13:47] grawity: could that upload traffic be local to my machine? eg from myself to myself?

[13:48] how to install buil-essential [13:48] what's a good tool to check if any file loaded from a ftp server has the same checksum as the file on the server? is this check possible with all decent ftp servers?

[13:51] Sidewinder1: it's a problem. ftp transfers are so likely to be corrupt on your side after the download. the protocol does not care about consistency. but there are some extensions but which tools and which servers use or implement it? that's not that well known as it seems. [13:51] moonshine, please clarify [13:52] using encoders, their purpose...i dont know that :) [13:52] Is it me or do you guys too think vbox sucks [13:52] vavar without an md5 or sfv created by the ftpserver owner it could be difficult to verify [13:52] Blizzerand_: why don't you ask in #ubuntu-offtopic? this isn't a channel for conducting polls [13:52] moonshine, this is Ubuntu support channel, you may wish to /msg alis list *term* for the topic you seek [13:52] Logo2: now would be a great opportunity to learn :) [13:53] hello [13:53] N-S: i know. a tool that could run over a mirrored set of files would be so great..

[13:55] new to linux ubuntu [13:55] What are you looking for exactly [13:55] kawada-ubuntu-> what are you looking for? [13:56] Sidewinder1: tcp/ip just takes care of a packet stream and the order. if the software can't handle if a proxy or whatever turns the data into crap along the way it's not enough to rely on the lowest level crc. [13:56] Welcome to #ubuntu, p928s [13:56] to do programming [13:56] and web content [13:56] just testing xchat [13:56] i wonder if there is neat stuff at linux platform [13:56] thank you [13:56] kawada-ubuntu : You could also try other distros if you like ubuntu [13:56] p928s: Great.

Run in the terminal --> "firefox ; sleep 5m ; killall firefox" [14:25] Ayla: did you install a custom theme? [14:26] Anarhist: it was something like MYPID=$(command) & sleep x && kill MYPID have a look at the manpages [14:26] Ayla, in that case you should be able to fix it quite easily by deleting you configuration for nautilus etc. [14:26] lookin forward to karmic koala [14:26] leaf-sheep: that is killing all processes called firefox [14:26] !karmick | glickity [14:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about karmick [14:26] glickity: its not bad at all [14:26] iceroot: That's an example. ;o [14:26] !9.10 | glickity [14:26] glickity: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [14:26] leaf-sheep, the problem is it's a java command, and i don't want to do killall java [14:26] twright: where is it stored ?

[14:28] i wonder what ubuntu will do in 6 years when they run out of letters [14:28] edgy: you'll have to manually remove everything you installed with make install [14:28] edgy: download the source again... and run make uninstall [14:28] edgy: redownload the source [14:28] ikonia: how can I tell where is installed? [14:28] glickity : They'll probably start out with a new theme [14:28] edgy: or, ask ikonia said, remove it manually [14:28] glickity: well, AA, AB, AC, etc.... [14:28] Zealous Zebra?

Here is the first, which appears on every bootup, and often when coming out of Suspend mode. http://picpaste.com/IMGP5107.JPG [14:29] Ayla, on my computer at least .nautilus is empty - you may just need to delete all of your .files then it should work (you may loose preferences this way so back up first). [14:29] My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5897, with an AMD TurionX2 64-bit CPU (I am running the 32-bit version of Mint). [14:29] edgy: there isn't normally [14:29] Here is the second picture.

Standby), but I got a kernel panic. http://picpaste.com/IMGP5106.JPG [14:30] Strife89: ok - mint is not supported here [14:30] sancho21, I tried, but I doesnt' help much [14:30] Anyway, the issue that is mentioned in the first screenshot occured in both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Ubuntu, so I suspect it's a kernel or a driver issue.

Display-wise, there's really no problem, but whenever I install the drivers and reboot, all the audio starts stuttering. The ATI has an onboard HDMI that can also stream sound so I guess it interferes with the on-motherboard sound card with which I had absolutely no problems before. Any ideas what to do? Thanks!

[14:42] Myrtti: Yeah, I got it on Jaunty ok, I think. [14:43] iceroot, just for your reference (if somebody else asks) i found 'timelimit' command, it does what i wanted [14:43] stefg: Unix : always the bride's maid, never the bride. [14:43] glickity: I am writing for cross-platform Ubuntu and Vista, and need to be able to terminate processes in Windows as well as Linux. [14:43] Ayla, in that case you might have to try ubuntu in recovery mode or reinstall. [14:43] glickity: I can't find how to kill a spawned Windows process in Python 2.5. os.kill() is not available for Windows. === pshr_ is now known as pshr [14:44] I've installed a basic ubuntu instalation from the minimal install - what do I need to get WLAN running with WPA2 ? [14:44] Ayla: ext4 filesystem and some unexpected shutdown (power loss)? [14:44] ManDay: minimal way of doing it is with wpa_supplicant [14:44] ManDay: which is a commandline tool [14:44] yep [14:44] i remember [14:44] thanks === pshr is now known as pshr_ [14:45] stefg: ext4 filesystem, and no unexpected shutdown at least none as I'm aware of [14:45] I got a weird interface called "pan0", does anyone know what that is? [14:45] Ayla: have you done a fsck already? [14:46] stefg: everytime the computer starts [14:47] stefg, if it was ext4 issues fsck would not help as due to the async problem files are missing but the disk is never inconsistent [14:48] can it be a problem of missing dependancies ? [14:49] Ayla: so it might well be a corrupt file... twright is right. fsck will only fix metadata for a broken file (which won't help). If some lib went belly up.... good luck in finding which one. [14:49] @_@ [14:49] * pshr_ freaked out!!!! [14:50] stefg: is there a command that reinstall every already-installed package ? [14:51] Ayla: apt-get install --reinstall ... but i don't know if it has some sort of -all switch [14:51] !apt | Ayla [14:51] Ayla: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) [14:53] stefg: is ext4 the source of the problem ? [14:53] Ayla: that's just a guess [14:54] stefg: if I reinstall, should I use ext3 then ? [14:55] Ayla: have you run a memtest? can also be a bad strip of ram... [14:56] Why does ubuntu crawl to a halt when copying files to an external disk? [14:56] how to check whether it is safe for me to uninstall linux-restricted modules? I don't believe i'm using them.... [14:56] is there a "reversed grep"? that is I want to show every line in an output that does NOT contain some text? [14:56] stefg: memtest ? is that a program ? I can't find it [14:56] brynjarh: grep -v [14:57] Myrtti: alrighty, thanks. [14:57] can anyone help me with my graphics card? [14:57] Ayla: that's an option during boot (if you 'esc' to the boot menu)... it's a test program for the system ram [14:57] !ask | lucy1989 [14:57] lucy1989: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[15:02] Trijntje>It shouldn't slow your machine that much; USB or otherwise. Perhaps someone more knowlegable Than I will chime in. Sorry... [15:02] Sidewinder1: what could it be with USB? It could make transfer slow, but it should leave all other proceses on my pc alone right? [15:02] I've installed a radeonhd driver with the Synaptic Package Manager. How do i edit the options?

Click OK to try another one" [15:41] Problem - My PC locks up, and I can't recover, I have to manually reboot.

[15:44] yes you are. "where can i read more?" "on the internet". [15:44] Ubuntu_Helper_00, yes, for example, all the menus in this xchat, firefox etc [15:44] agroker: There is a GTK+ human theme that someone made and they took the padding out. You can use that and also decrease the font size. [15:44] no, i thought you could tell me a specific man-page or help-page [15:44] ManDay_: I've given you info, I've offered you a solution, [15:44] ManDay_: you don't have the packages installed - so there are no man pages [15:45] Trijntje: look at /etc/fstab, then look at 'sudo blkid' [15:45] i'm currently installing them [15:45] Ubuntu_Helper_00, the screen resolution is proper, but everything looks like I'm running 800x600 [15:45] ManDay_: how are you installing them - you don't have an interenet connection ? [15:45] so what manpage is it which tells me more about the technical background? [15:45] ManDay_: man pages tell you about commands not background [15:45] agroker: If you are running compiz, you can also remove the window decorations and access menus/move/resize with the Alt key. [15:45] ikonia, that depends [15:45] stefg: You are right, wrong UUID for the swap partion. Thanks! Can you give me a pointer to that KDE problem? i was thinking about switching to KDE. [15:46] agroker: Maybe it is actually the wrong resolution? [15:46] Trijntje: No i don't touch KDE with a 10 ft. pole. i only see/ plasma: out of memory/ in dmesg [15:46] Problem - My PC locks up, and I can't recover, I have to manually reboot. The only thing I can think of that is in common in all the lockups is there is sound playing, but the lockups happen intermittently. I have not found anything revealing in logs, but I may be looking in the wrong place. The lockup has an infinitely repeating half-second of whatever sound was playing. Jaunty, AMD64 [15:47] spree: when it locks up, press the capslock key, does the light on your keyboard go on/off ? [15:47] ikonia, That's a great question. Let's assume it does. [15:47] spree: why assume ? [15:47] spree: find out [15:48] ikonia, because if it doesn't it's probably hardware and i don't want to have to quit and come back on here at a later date [15:48] spree>May also be a RAM problem. Have you tried "memtest" on boot-up? [15:48] spree: not at all, that doesn't mean it's hardware, but it could be [15:48] spree: it does say if the kernel has totally locked up or not [15:48] ok i will do something that should cause it to happen more often, i run World In Conflict on WINE [15:48] spree: so I suggest testing it [15:48] hi i need to open port 8000. http://localhost:8080 works fine, but ip http://10.0.0.10:8000 gives failed to connect [15:48] clintonp: pastebin the output of ifconfig ? [15:48] clintonp: what's listening on port 8000 ? [15:49] ikonia, okay i will do something that will likely cause it to crash and get back to you [15:49] Trijntje: and once you have your swap working again consider putting /tmp into a tmpfs . speeds things up when using encryption and makes sure you always have a clean /tmp at reboot [15:49] spree: sounds good [15:50] Trijntje: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-fs3.html [15:50] http://pastebin.com/d4f8a6421 [15:51] stefg: ill look into that, thanks for the information [15:51] clintonp: what is listening on 8000 ? [15:51] stefg: can you tell me what you don't like about KDE? Or is that forbidden here from fear of flamewars? [15:52] http://pastebin.com/d7720a42d [15:52] clintonp:ikonia:http://pastebin.com/d7720a42d [15:52] clintonp: no, what application have you configued to listen on port 8000 [15:52] django [15:52] clintonp: that netstat output shows it only listening on 127.0.0.1 [15:53] clintonp: so you need to tell it to listen on all interefaces or listen on the 10.x interface [15:53] Trijntje: KDE 4 isn't stable enough for my taste, and i find KDE quite distrcting... I get my stuff done quicker in Gnome, because i'm not temted to tweak here and fumble there. [15:53] whats the command to generate a generic xorg.conf if one doesnt exist? [15:53] ikonia:how do i do that [15:53] clintonp: change the config file [15:53] clintonp: there must be a parameter that says "listen on this interface" or "listen on these ip addresses" [15:54] wlan question; there are two essid named linksys on my area, how to i connect to the one i want via command line, iwconfig wlan0 essid linksys ; did not work [15:54] beans43, do you have broadcom wireless card? [15:54] beans43: depends on encyption [15:54] beans43, not sure exactly but if your using encryption then there are more parameters, man iwconfig or iwconfig --help === JP is now known as Guest94222 [15:54] moonshine, i don't know but it work if i am in gnome, automatic [15:55] beans43 please [15:55] tell me what error did you receive? [15:55] i tried too and won't work [15:55] since i installed gdm (x isnt running yet), after i login in the gnome login thingy i get taken back to a tty but the text is very small - can i set its size somewhere? [15:55] joni, yes, how to specify the correct mac for AP? [15:55] i get something like " invalid parameter" [15:55] whats the command to generate a generic xorg.conf if one doesnt exist? ikonia happen to know? [15:55] beans43, in terminal, write: lspci and you will see what type of wlan card you have [15:55] stefg: I see, ill try it out a while before installing KDE permanently. [15:55] ManDay_: that's normally a frambuffer option [15:55] miguelonnnn, no error. i just can't get a dhcp release in console. before X, if i quit X. [15:56] joni: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server [15:56] ManDay_: it sounds like something is going wrong when you drop back to the framebuffer after gdm fails [15:56] ah i remember its compiled into the kernel, usually, isnt it? [15:56] Ubuntu_Helper_00, ty [15:56] ManDay_: the framebuffer is - yes [15:56] stefg: but this tmpfs, can i just say "mount tempfs /tmp -t tmpfs" and it magically works? [15:56] bean43, i type sudo iwconfig key mypassword and i get "invalid parameter" [15:56] ikonia, i think its not actually "failing" - it just takes me into a terminal because there is no x. [15:56] and if i type sudo iwconfig essid myessid it doesn't say anything, but when i do iwconfig essid is in blank [15:57] Hello. I'm a longtime linux user, but I haven't used it as a desktop OS in about 4 years. I have a 64bit machine (intel core 2 duo something). Should I install the 64 bit or 32 bit version? Will I have any trouble with applications? I must be able to install flash :-) [15:57] ManDay_: there has to be X, gdm can't run without X [15:57] ah yeah, but no xinit, ikonia [15:57] moonshine, lspci didnot say. any how my card works. but i want to connect to AP in console, and not start gnome [15:57] so you think this is an error? [15:57] Ubuntu_Helper_00, output is: ackage `xorg-server' is not installed and no info is available. [15:57] danceuntilwedie: depending on your ram to use 32bit or 64it [15:57] Trijntje: add a line to /etc/fstab. [15:57] danceuntilwedie: and flash is working fine in 64bit jaunty for me [15:57] I have 4GB of memoery -- forgot to add that, iceroot [15:57] tmpfs /tmp tmpfs size=2048M 0 0 [15:57] and i plan on adding another 4 [15:58] danceuntilwedie: with 4gb you need 64bit or 32bit with pae [15:58] Trijntje: ^ [15:58] ManDay_: I think dropping back to the framebuffer in the wrong mode doens't sound good [15:58] ok, I guess I will go with 64bit then. I'm hoping to bump it up to 8GB, so I guess 32bit is out of the question :-) [15:58] stefg: no making a new kernel? [15:58] ikonia, any way i could determine whether this is an error? check Xorg.0.log? [15:58] danceuntilwedie: 32bit can only handle 4gb (ram + adress-bus) [15:58] ManDay_: xorg log won't show it as it's not an xorg problem [15:59] iceroot, i think the maximum is 3GB, maybe i am wrong :) [15:59] ManDay_: I doubt it's an "error" more the framebuffer config not setup so it's dropping back to what it thinks is right [15:59] moonshine: as i told, 4gb = ram + pci-adress-bus [15:59] miguelonnnn, i just don't know the full command linke to bind to AP. so far i have iwcofig wlan0 essid MYLAN "something here for my AP MAC address" [15:59] iceroot, sorry :) my mistake :) [15:59] yeah, but try this beans43 [15:59] ikonia, yeah i see there must be something wrong, after entering some lines i notice that the framebuffer only takes up 1/4 of the screen [15:59] type sudo iwconfig key randomchars [15:59] iceroot: so "ubuntu-9.04-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent" ? [16:00] ManDay_: yup, sounds like it's falling back to not the best mode [16:00] danceuntilwedie: yes [16:00] amd64 = intel and amd 64bit cpus? [16:00] ikonia, what should i do? [16:00] ManDay_: quick dirty fix is to set it correctly at boot time [16:00] Trijntje: no.... only telling the existing kernel to use the cache for /tmp .... it defaults to half the ram, so you miight as well use 'defaults' instead of the size= ... parameter [16:00] to me it gives invalid argument , i can't set a key, nor essid [16:00] iwconfig is mad haha [16:00] ManDay_: that way it "should" fall back to the same mode [16:00] iceroot: thank you. [16:00] danceuntilwedie: you are welcome [16:00] http://cambio.mendigogame.es/change_please/1687023/ [16:00] iwconfig: unknown command "randomchars" [16:00] ikonia, in the kernel params? [16:00] miguelonnnn, [16:00] ManDay_: bang on [16:00] beans, make sure you type the interface [16:01] http://cambio.mendigogame.es/change_please/1687023/ <---- enter please [16:01] it should be like this, sudo iwconfig eth1(substitute for your wireless interface) key randomchars [16:01] Is a list of all the mapped printers and network drives in a configuration file somewhere? I'd like to transfer it to other machines. [16:02] ikonia, any suggestion waht exactly i'd have to set it to?

[16:02] does anyone knows with which version of gcc, the kernel 2.6.28-15 is compiled with? [16:02] ManDay_: depends on the card, monitor mode, a good option is "ask" so you can test a few modes [16:03] anyone? [16:03] moonshine: check /proc/version [16:03] stefg: and telling the kernel to use the tmpfs for /tmp happens when you put that line in fstab? [16:03] ikonia, you are well aware of the fact that on boot time the fb looks correctly? [16:04] ManDay_: yup, I'm suggesting setting it so it knows what to fall back to [16:04] ok [16:04] iwconfig eth0 ap 00:60:1D:01:23:45 i think it's this [16:04] miguelonnnn, [16:04] ManDay_: may not fix it, but it seems the most obvious first thing to do [16:04] ikonia, nothing there...just blank file [16:04] yeah beans43? [16:04] ManDay_: playing around with the framebuffer is a drag, so maybe setting up X would be my next step [16:04] ah sry [16:05] moonshine: it's /proc/version - it's not a file, cat it [16:05] Trijntje: right [16:05] aaah [16:05] did it work for you beans43? [16:05] that selects the acces point [16:05] miguelonnnn, i don't know, i have to quit gnome to try it. [16:05] bye [16:05] why? [16:05] ikonia, i think i got a little closer to the problem: when i explicitly set the session to "GNOME failsafe" in the gdm login, i get an error "Could not find the GNOME installation, will try running the Failsafe xterm session" [16:06] cause it's for console, before X-session [16:06] ManDay_: nah, I think that's just a red herring as an xterm can't run either [16:06] can't iwconfig work in x session? [16:06] howdy. Got an XP desktop. Wanna put 9.04 on it dual-boot. I know to defrag and reboot in XP, then it looks pretty straight forward from the vid I've seen. Any gotchas?

[16:08] Well, my data will be on another linux box and I've got the recovery CD so it's not a disaster.

[16:20] Well, I'm gonna backup my data to another system, also use PING, and do the normal Ubuntu dual-boot install and figure I'm covered.

[16:20] toomuchpower: it said something about sata and a dirty cache. [16:21] ManDay_ -> that debconf command shows you whats installed i believed [16:21] that should be paranoid enough. [16:21] Trijntje: I told the program that it could do the things it suggested.

[16:23] then we've got same problems [16:23] toomuchpower: muted or disabled? [16:23] Trijntje: muted. [16:24] i'll tell you if i solve it ok? [16:24] is the kernel from ubuntu diffrent from the one on the mini cd? [16:24] n8tuser: any way to disable it? [16:24] anyone? [16:24] toomuchpower: you can disable sound with this command: sudo modprobe -r HDA intel, if you are sure that is your sound [16:25] toomuchpower: do you have 4 C-states btw in powertop? [16:25] Wakeups-from-idle per second : 824,0 interval: 10,0s [16:25] toomuchpower -> i am not sure other than turning it off via an external switch, you can try disabling the interface with ifdown [16:25] formatting my external HDD, looking for best 1 TB External SSD, anyone got website to recommend? (I'm googling right now) [16:25] Your CPU supports the following C-states : C1 C2 C3 C4 Your BIOS reports the following C-states : C1 C2 [16:25] Trijntje: yes [16:25] shamm: 1TB SSD? [16:25] toomuchpower: 800 is realy bad [16:25] Or highest available out there. [16:26] any ide about fix this error http://paste.org/pastebin/view/10400 ? [16:26] toomuchpower: there should be an option in you bios to activate C3 and C4, these use the least power [16:26] shamm: have seen 128GB SSD (more then 1000€) [16:26] Trijntje: I think you are supposed to use powertop when you are not doing anything, right? [16:26] Trijntje: I am using Firefox to chat, so, I am doing something. [16:26] $524.95 for 128 GB External SSD [16:27] hmm... [16:27] Trijntje: I will try the BIOS later. [16:27] shamm: why need a SSD? just use a normal drive [16:27] Anything else? [16:27] hacktop: I use scrot myself. It's a command-line. You open the terminal and run "scrot" [16:27] iceroot, if it is affordable, I would like to have one. [16:27] It would of course be a lot better, if Ubuntu would recognize my model and configure everything optimally based on that. [16:27] hacktop try import [16:27] +$1k is out of my range though. [16:28] shamm: If you care for the extra speed use an SSD. Otherwise don't waste your money. If you do use it, remember to set the correct kernel arguments to make it more efficient. [16:28] shamm: think of that SSD has limit write-operations [16:28] DeSian>Perhaps you should "untick" CD in your sources. [16:28] shamm, I have a 1TB iomega external hd and it works great [16:28] it is not worth going ssd as it is cheaper just to get standard drives [16:28] Ubuntu_Helper_00: gotcha. [16:28] shamm: $524.95 for 128 GB External SSD? Wow. You could use that money instead to build a nice HTPC. [16:29] Sidewinder1, correct fix it thnx [16:29] Welks [16:29] I already got 1 Tb external HDD -- I should be satisfied with it. [16:29] toomuchpower: well, what is optimal? if your on powersafe your laptop is not as fast. And you can use it when you are doing something. [16:29] shamm, for an external drive, ssd's don't really give much benefit [16:29] * shamm puts his insatisable desires in control. [16:29] twright: gotcha [16:30] * shamm is trying to figure out fast way to restore a linux workstation using Symantec Ghost [16:30] Trijntje: I don't mind 800 MHz for most tasks. [16:30] there are about 8 gho files [16:31] Trijntje: I set my gnome stuff to OnDemand, but still it uses more power than Vista would. [16:31] toomuchpower: turn down display brightness will help aswell, i can get ~20 wakeup per second when i'm doing nothing [16:32] Trijntje: I also don't see why there isn't just one application to manage all power related stuff. [16:32] toomuchpower: btw, you have to keep powertop running, because it restores all changes when it extis [16:32] Trijntje: uh, huh? Why does powertop do that? [16:32] hello, i run su -c , but my application cannot access my config files, does someone know what i'm doing wrong? [16:32] toomuchpower: again, because if you always have those settings your laptop is slow [16:32] toomuchpower, powertop is designed so developers can make their software use less power [16:33] a lot of power improvements are coming in karmic [16:33] twright: You mean programmers that write hardware interface stuff? [16:33] dataviruset -> same user or a different user on the su parameter? [16:33] twright: drivers [16:34] I cannot imagine using powertop myself (I am a programmer too). [16:34] Hell, Which do I believe "gnome-system-monitor" or "top", top shows i have 4mb memory free, and gnome-system-monitor says I have 180 mb free. I have 255 mb physical memory [16:34] n8tuser: a different user, my user is oskar and i use sudo su -c ... arcemu [16:34] pranav: CACHES [16:34] toomuchpower, them and desktop applications (i.e gnome) - if your program runs all the time then you should use powertop [16:34] pranav: Linux caches lots of stuff. Unused memory is wasted memory. [16:34] toomuchpower -> look deeper into hal perhaps, that seems the main interface to the psuedo devices and real devices, now thats getting deep [16:35] dataviruset -> and whose environment you want to use? oskar or arcemu ? [16:35] n8tuser: arcemu [16:35] twright: but all a programmer can do is make the program execute less instructions, or maybe more efficient ones, but almost nobody would optimize on that level, I think. [16:35] toomuchpower: I use powertop to see what programs do a lot of wakeups. Like wanda the fish, 4/sec ;) [16:36] dataviruset -> id say pass it on along as a parameter in that command line like PATH=... [16:36] Maybe it is because I am opposed to polling to begin with. [16:36] I would use something like inotify. [16:36] toomuchpower, you can also reduce the cpu wakeups (when it checks etc.) which makes a huge difference [16:36] toomuchpower: Well, So what does this 4mb free memory means in TOP ?

After looking at the html source, I see alot of 'javascript', you need to install that into your browser as well.

[16:44] ok [16:45] heogen>Sorry it took so long; I'm a SLOWWWWW typer. :-( [16:45] dataviruset: unfortunately, windows 2003 is running 8 processors at where I work. :( [16:45] toomuchpower, well in karmic it is different as spining down the hd is an option in the power manager [16:45] Wow, that's more or less awesome. After trying to figure out how to set up a proxy on Windows for almost 30 minutes I just tried "bridging connections" and hell that works like a charm. i dont even have to configure ubuntu to use a proxserver sort of - its just like my ubuntu machine was DIRECTLY connected to the internet!

[16:48] toomuchpower, if you want a distro with more powersaving baked in you could try wattOS: http://www.planetwatt.com/ [16:49] n8tuser, the laptop i want to (re)install ubuntu on has no connection to the internet because wireless doesnt work. my windows machine has wireless working and two network interfaces (the wireless one and eth) -> so i managed to give my laptop internet access [16:49] i think its just awesome [16:49] twright: if I can continue to use my existing partitions, I would want that. I doubt that's possible, however. [16:49] vix2 -> cat /proc/filesystems [16:50] thx n8tuser [16:50] toomuchpower, well the ubuntu installer does allow you to use a partition without formatting (keeping /home) [16:50] It seems that the HDA intel stuff has _no_ powermanagement and simply always runs. No wonder... [16:50] ManDay -> you used null cable between your laptop eth and your windows host? [16:51] ikonia, are you still around? The caps lock light does not change [16:51] n8tuser: ethernet doesn't have null cables, does it [16:51] twright: oh, nice. I assume you can also keep multiple? [16:51] grawity -> nope, but i meant the cable to connect two ethernet ports without using a hub [16:52] toomuchpower, I think it is flexible but of course it is worth backing up before doing anything [16:52] spree>Did you try "memtest" on boot-up to check your RAM? [16:52] how to configure my splash screen to be at resolution of 800x600? cause my laptop can handle that resolution the best [16:52] i mean [16:52] which is the vga=??? [16:52] Problem - My PC locks up, and I can't recover, I have to manually reboot. The only thing I can think of that is in common in all the lockups is there is sound playing, but the lockups happen intermittently. I have not found anything revealing in logs, but I may be looking in the wrong place. The lockup has an infinitely repeating half-second clip of sound. At the crash, caps lock and num lock are non-responsive. Jaunty, AMD64 [16:52] n8tuser: Ah, those are crossover cables. Also, most network cards have "auto-crossover", which allows using a normal cable. (Gigabit cards have it in specs, as an optional feature, but it's supported by some 100Mbit too) [16:52] Sidewinder1, I have not tried that yet, no [16:52] moonshine -> we cant remember each parameter, you may have to google to convert those numbers [16:53] moonshine: Try vga=? for a list.

[17:29] @Hentai: sudo -i [17:29] Hentai: just use the normal sudo === pranav is now known as trap [17:29] !sudo | Hentai> [17:29] Hentai>: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [17:30] I have a question about Wubi, does it run like a real linux inside as in can I compile Linux code etc? [17:30] atrofast: Yes. The only difference between Wubi and a "real" install is how it installs itself. [17:30] Hentai: if you run 'sudo su' then you will remain root as long as the terminal is open. [17:30] a555556666, thanks, exactly what I needed, I know about sudo guys but didn't know what to run to get that [17:30] So it'll just run as an application in Windows then? How does the performance compare to for example a VMWare image? [17:30] bmschrad, what about sudo -i? or will it log out afterwhile? [17:31] atrofast: The _only_ differences are that Wubi doesn't use a partition, instead it uses a big file. Also, it doesn't replace the Windows bootloader. [17:31] I follwed a site for installing .tat.bz2 .Uncompressed it and found 2 files 1 is .c and other is Makefile, what do I do guyz ? [17:31] sudo su and sudo -i are similar [17:31] fccf: thank you. the second link had the answer with the permissions. it works now :) [17:31] ok a555556666 [17:31] atrofast: There is no virtualization involved or anything. [17:31] Oh I see, thanks grawity [17:31] Hentai: not sure I just do 'sudo su' and it keeps me logged as root for the whole time. [17:31] a555556666: if i am correct, sudo su is not setting the environment correct [17:31] j0w [17:32] hi, how can i terminate a program that make the computer freeze? [17:32] iceroot, even when i just want to install "gnome" there is a load of stuff included which i really dont want!! why would they put "gimp" into the gnome-package for gods sake?!?!!? [17:32] bmschrad>Not sure that was the best advice, considering the nature of his/her question. :-) [17:32] grawity: use the Makefile to install Esetroot.c ? [17:32] I've got a problem with my cooler. everytime i boot my laptop after i've hibernated it, the cooler doesn't start to run [17:32] ManDay: i dont knw what is in the paket gnome [17:32] atrofast: The only thing is that it uses a kind of "virtual disk" - so 1) it may be a little slower on disk I/O, 2) it doesn't support hibernate (suspend-to-disk). [17:32] i need to shut down the computer completely in order to make the cooler run again [17:33] iceroot, too much [17:33] hi [17:33] i just want the damn gnome desktop running, but whatever i try it wants to install a lot of other things. im gettign frustrated [17:33] atrofast: But doing a "real" installation is really easy now, the Ubuntu installer can resize the Windows partition in a few minutes. So you might want to use that. [17:33] ManDay: Try gnome-desktop? [17:34] maybe you should stick to windows if you dont know how to install gnome [17:34] hi, how can i terminate a program that make the computer freeze? [17:34] o_O: not a good comment [17:34] grawity: I'm asking on behalf of a friend, he's not keen on dual booting not sure why [17:34] o_O: Well, it isn't ManDay's fault that Ubuntu put a lot of crap in the 'gnome' package. [17:34] thanks grawity [17:34] ManDay, back up a step, what are your needs exactly? [17:34] i dunno what hes trying to do [17:35] just heard that he cant install gnome [17:35] ManDay: I just joined, but I think there's a kind of Gnome minimal that can be installed rather than the whole of ubuntu-desktop [17:35] @mgv1: from a terminal, you can kill it [17:35] ManDay, it's important to note that gnome consists of a bunch of different packages that don't all start with 'gnome-' [17:35] yo yo yo [17:35] o_O: Install GNOME desktop without all the additional stuff (GIMP, Evolution, etc) [17:35] Hi everyone I was wondering if anyone has tried to install the latest version of ubuntu on the new HP tx2-1275? [17:35] cwillu, a basic ubuntu installation, with a gnome desktop but without all the little programs such as "dictionary", "character map", "gimp" etc etc etc [17:35] thats what im trying to get [17:35] ManDay, those little programs _are_ the gnome desktop [17:35] ManDay: gnome-desktop and probably gnome-session. Maybe gnome-base, I don't remember. === fccf1 is now known as status === status is now known as fccf [17:36] !info gnome-core [17:36] gnome-core (source: meta-gnome2): The GNOME Desktop Environment -- essential components.

Version 1:2.22.2~4ubuntu6 (jaunty), package size 14 kB, installed size 44 kB [17:36] atrofast: It'd be interesting to know why does he dislike dualboot :\ [17:36] how can i tell what groups a user is in? [17:36] atrofast: Because technically, Wubi _is_ simplified dualboot. === Rei-chan|Ghostin is now known as Rei-chan [17:37] Vegancheesesteak: id -Gn username [17:37] toomuchpower: I think you could make fdm do what you want see !info fdm [17:37] !info fdm [17:37] fdm (source: fdm): fetching, filtering and delivering emails.

He's been using vmware but thinks it's too slow [17:38] atrofast, I personally strongly recommend against it for the reasons listed on bug #428195 [17:38] atrofast: and it can go wrong and that, for testing it will probably be ok, but for realiability and for a long term install, better to use real partitions [17:38] hi, how can i terminate a program that make the computer freeze? [17:38] atrofast, that said, wubi is a dual boot, pure and simple [17:38] atrofast: Tell him that for most purposes, Wubi and real dualboot give exactly the same experience. [17:38] mgv1: reading the logs [17:38] atrofast: plus a Wubi install can be converted into one [17:39] I plug in my x-box controller; the xpad module loads, but it controls my mouse cursor and isn't identified as a joystick. How do I get it to recognize it as a joystick instead? [17:39] Alright, thanks a lot everyone! [17:39] : i didn't saw it for some reason [17:39] grawity, i go with ... GDM, gnome-session, thunderbird, open-office.org-writer, firefox-3.0, network-manager, wireless-tools AND ALL THEIR DEPS now, do you think this will yield a working desktop? [17:39] atrofast: and if Windows messes up enough so will Wubi [17:39] ManDay, yes [17:40] cwillu, ok, ill give it a shot then [17:40] well, include ubuntu-minimal in there to make sure the core pieces are working [17:40] ManDay: firefox-3.5 instead [17:40] ManDay: Why shouldn't it? [17:40] : how can i open the terminal if the computer froze and how can i kiill it? [17:40] mgv1: some more details? which ubuntu, what you do when freezing? heat is ok? not overclocking? [17:40] WdnSpoon: try jscalibrator [17:40] WdnSpoon: have you seen this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xbox360Controller [17:40] it runs and it sees my /dev/js0 as an xpad, but it doesn't register any input. Moving the axis simply moves my mouse cursor [17:41] mgv1: depending on what "a freeze is" ctrl + alt + f1 opens up a console [17:41] : firefox was opening millions of windows maybe because of mouse problem (portable computer pad) [17:41] ManDay, I'm still not understanding what you're trying to achieve though (i.e., the reasons behind it), and it could be there's a more direct way of doing things [17:41] WdnSpoon: sudo apt-get install joystick [17:41] hello [17:41] !details | mgv1 [17:41] mgv1: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [17:41] ActionParsnip: already installed [17:42] i have ubuntu 9.04, and hide network manager, and i can't connect to my wirlles network? please help me [17:43] WdnSpoon: there should be an app in the config app someplace where you can config it [17:43] cwillu, as i said im trying to get a minimal ubuntu install with a working deskto [17:43] p [17:43] any disadvantages of wicd? [17:43] ActionParsnip: which app is that? ie what should I run to find that [17:43] will it hold back my upgrading to another ubuntu version or something? [17:43] ManDay, for what purpose? [17:44] WdnSpoon: alt+f2 type jscalibrator [17:44] WdnSpoon: if it isnt installed run: sudo apt-get install jscalibrator [17:44] No sound in firefox from flash in ubuntu ! THIS is very sad for ubuntu.for this simple thing to have to search for a long time to find solution while its every where else very easy to just install and play the f......ing thing [17:45] because i like it slim, cwillu [17:45] ManDay, in a real sense, any 'minimal' install of ubuntu's desktop isn't ubuntu's desktop. And the absolute minimal desktop can be quite a bit more minimal than the packages you listed. [17:45] ActionParsnip: right I've checked that before; it sees my js0 as the xbox controller, but it doesn't register any input. Moving my axis just moves my mouse cursor [17:45] ManDay: you can install ubuntu-netbook-remix [17:45] Hydrid: is there a question in there or just a rant? [17:45] cwillu, simply put i just dont want any packages that i dont explicitly want [17:45] contais less bloat (ekiga, ...) than original ubuntu [17:45] Additionally, hardly any of those utilities consume any resources beyond a couple kb of diskspace [17:45] Hydrid: not Ubuntu's fault, blame Adobe after all their Flash plugin is closed source [17:45] a question and a rant [17:45] forceflow, unbuntu-netbook-remix is just as bloated as the vanilla ubuntu [17:46] WdnSpoon: have you read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xbox360Controller [17:46] Hydrid: they also don't make it properly for Linux distros, by what I have read before in here etc [17:46] ManDay, I'd suggest that starting with ubuntu isn't really the right choice [17:46] Sound in Flash works fine for me... [17:46] forceflow: you could install u-lite then install LXDE onto for ultra lightness [17:46] ActionParsnip: trying that; the codes not compiling but I'm trying to fudge it a little [17:46] anybody got an answer to my question? Will using wicd have any negative effects on upgrading ubuntu? [17:46] since it's not standard gnome/ubuntu [17:46] Hydrid: What you put was more of a compliant, than a question. [17:47] forceflow: it shouldn't [17:47] IdleOne: okay, thanks [17:47] cwillu, i use ubuntu because i like their repositories [17:47] like it a lot more than network manager [17:47] forceflow: if you jump to the next release the repo will be disabled during the upgrade process [17:47] installing stuff is a charm in ubuntu once you got it setup [17:47] ManDay, I'd suggest debian, or at least starting with ubuntu-minimal and building up the desktop you want from the command line [17:47] i dont know how it sound but its something that i wanted to say and thats it. Now returning to my prob [17:48] ManDay, that said, the entire concept of a 'bloat' is ill-defined, a simple emotional reaction at best [17:48] ActionParsnip: will it rever to network-manager then? [17:48] or not install any network manager at all? [17:48] ok, wicd helped me :) thank's [17:48] cwillu, you are right. [17:48] Obviously just a rant :-( [17:48] ManDay, 'gnome-calculator' consumes no resources, and as such, can't bloat anything by definition :p [17:48] but as for the command line - thats why i choose ubuntu because im tired of all the command line details [17:48] i have to run ldconfig as part of a install of fuppes and it doesnt do anything what packet do i need installed for this to work [17:48] Hydrid: maybe you have some kind of sound issue in Ubuntu or it's just Flash, you can also try Swfdec and Gnash as alternatives to Adobe Flash, but out of the three Adobe's is still the best, for obvious reasons [17:48] cwillu, you are absolutely right, its just an emotional something [17:48] ActionParsnip: I think this may be the answer: the driver is fine, it's X that's grabbing my input: http://www.gs1.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6267529&posted=1#post6267529 [17:48] i want the desktop clean, thats my preference [17:49] ManDay, would it make sense to simply remove the menu entries and the like for item you don't want to see? [17:49] that way you gain the benefit of the ubuntu meta-packages re: updates and such, but in a way that will always leave your desktop as clean as you like it? [17:49] lol, you know i will not be satsified if i know that the actual binaries are still sitting somewhere in my Fs taking up space :P [17:49] (i.e., leave your session clean) [17:49] anybody ? what do i need for ldconfig to work [17:49] ManDay, stop making things hard on yourself :p [17:50] I always find comfort in the fact that re-installing ubuntu takes ... half an hour, max. [17:50] cwillu, i'd need to consult a psychologist to get over that [17:50] forceflow: yeah, but getting a server back takes a little longer [17:50] ManDay, you realize that the installers for all sorts of stuff end up living in /var/cache/apt/archives? [17:50] i just cant :D [17:51] cwillu: s/installers/packages/ [17:51] well /var can be purged anytime [17:51] and all sorts of stuff you'll never look at in your life resides in /usr/share/ [17:51] if I need a tool just one time, I remove it afterwards [17:51] oh believe me I DO look at it :P [17:51] grawity, a package is an installer, they're synonyms [17:51] I just don't know enough about linux yet to understand what every installer does, though :) [17:51] ManDay: have you considered taking a system like Puppy (100mb) and enabling APT [17:52] fccf, havent heard of that [17:52] ManDay, and I presume you'll degunk your initramfs, as well as your dbus rules? [17:52] cwillu: The installer is dpkg; a package only has the information. (Well, a post-install script often.) [17:52] how do I disable application when a "Debugger" is detected. [17:52] ManDay, to say nothing of the bloat in each /etc/init.d/ script [17:52] f8m: Why do you need to do that? [17:52] hi, ive seen screenshots and ideas for appstore, and i really like it, especially the design is shiny [17:52] cwillu, you dont want to take it there, you dont wanna know what i do in my spare time :P [17:52] are you going to sell proprietary programs too through that plattform? [17:52] !ot | Raydiation [17:52] Raydiation: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [17:52] ManDay: Puppy Linux (google it) is a minimal linux desktop distrobution, and can run some ubuntu apps by enabling apt [17:53] grawity, (a) this has nothing to do with what I was talking about, (b) that simply not true, "installers" in the windows world make use of something exactly analogous to dpkg, and yet they're still called installers [17:53] how do i install shockwave? [17:53] ManDay, in which case, I still wonder why the hell you're using a binary package based os :p [17:53] sounds delicious fcct, but i am someone who rather throws a distro away then solving deps manually, so i think this is nothing for someone like me === BlackJack is now known as Dreaman [17:53] cwillu: Windows installers contain the executable code themselves, .debs don't. [17:53] when I install program on wine, it gave me the "Debugger detected" [17:53] !flash | Guest49045 [17:53] Guest49045: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [17:54] grawity, they do, in fact, and windows installers don't necessarily, in fact [17:54] fccf: maybe Guest49045 means Shockwave not Flash [17:54] cwillu, im coming from gentoo, actually i had two choices: slackware or ubuntu... i took ubuntu because i love well maintained repos :D [17:54] ActionParsnip: Okay this was the answer: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Joystick_lshal_outputs_done thanks for your help [17:54] how do i kill netsta connections? [17:54] netstat* [17:54] ManDay: perhaps you should volunteer to keep the repos clean :) [17:54] ManDay, in which case, I feel absolutely no pity for your frustration before, and in fact I really feel the need to extract my time from you somehow :p [17:55] ManDay: Puppy can use the ubuntu repos, I have heard good things... 100mb DL ... what do you have to loose [17:55] Is there a system-wide equalizer? (not sure what pulse jack alsa oss are but I believe I'm using alsa apps with pulse) [17:55] fcct, worth a try, but not today [17:55] * ManDay gives cwillu his time back [17:55] Guest49045: The commonly sadly used Flash, or the not so used anymore Shockwave? [17:55] korogiannos, not installed by default. There are guides around, although I haven't had any success with them (relies on a pulseaudio module to load audio plugins, which I haven't been able to make work) [17:56] hey guys how can i invert the bytes in a file so last bytes go first and so? thxx [17:56] korogiannos, but it's possible in theory, and people have reported success [17:56] miguelonnnn, homework assignment? [17:56] why cant i enable desktop effects? [17:56] is there something like gnome-do for kde? [17:57] moonshine: Which graphics card do you have? [17:57] VIA S3 Unichrome [17:57] moonshine: hmm sounds like an odd one to me [17:57] cwillu: Thanks. I've not dug deep (if at all) knowing that others have succeeded is motivation enough [17:57] How do i solve the DEBUGGER DETECTED problem from wine problem [17:57] moonshine: when I say which I meant which company [17:58] miguelonnnn, python, and then open('output').write(open('filename').read()[::-1]) [17:58] but i cant install it, i tried all the packages,from via, openchrome...nothing works...the company is S3 [17:58] grkblood13: kill the process [17:58] zaccour: You can also ask in #kubuntu [17:58] netstat wont show the process [17:58] and i cant find the process [17:58] its a php script [17:58] moonshine, the driver available for that card doesn't support compiz or 3d acceleration sufficient for the task [17:58] moonshine: Have you got a graphics card driver installed for it? [17:58] f8m: please take the question to #winehq [17:58] i cant install it, i tried all the packages,from via, openchrome...nothing works... [17:59] moonshine, complaints to the manufacturer (s3) about their horrid linux/xorg support would be appreciated, as they're the only ones in a position to fix it [17:59] grkblood: probably only runs for a second when needed, if the script is causing a problem ... remove it === codylaeder is now known as valaruaca [17:59] moonshine: what cwillu said [17:59] moonshine, again, there are no drivers available for that card which are capable of running compiz :( [17:59] i have killed the script [17:59] i need help setting up a procmailrc file, to setup all the files ive FETCHMAILED from gmail POP into different subfolders mail/sent/drafts, etc for dovecot to serv to my local machines?

[17:59] Has anybody installed Ubuntu on a PowerPC mac? Particularly Jaunty? [18:00] moonshine, best bet is to make a complaint to s3, and go out and buy a cheap nvidia card :p [18:00] im running powerpc on my ps3 [18:00] do you have flash support? [18:00] grkblood13: consider restarting your IRC client and all sub-processes [18:00] well, cwillu , where to put it? i have laptop...

[18:01] moonshine, that's unfortunate. If it means anything, the rest of the system should work fine, you just won't have 3d acceleration or fancy desktop effects [18:01] I just read gnash is a good alternative, but more importantly I cant figure out my wireless with Debian on this iBook G4.

[18:13] mneptok: TY [18:13] after installing putty on windows , how do i connect to it from my laptop if its ip is 192.168.x.x [18:13] pradeep: Places>Connect to server [18:13] cwillu: I get the same error....whichver mirror I select... and its giving error for main and universe.....which I want to use [18:13] Sidewinder1, the memtest revealed nothing [18:14] pradeep: PuTTY is a _client_ - you cannot connect to it. You can only connect from it. [18:14] one more question..... why are files uploaded via ftp of different permissions than ones created locally with the user account? [18:14] a1fa, could you try opening the terminal (from applications->accessories) and typing alsamixer ans that may show the problem [18:14] i am not using pulseaudio in gstreamer-properties [18:14] Vegancheesesteak: Different how? 600 vs 644? [18:14] then how do i connect to my windows comp?? [18:14] grawity:then how do i connect to my windows comp?? [18:14] pradeep: rdesktop [18:15] grawity: wat is rdesktop [18:15] pradeep: To copy files, click Places -> Connect to server [18:15] grawity: yes [18:15] pradeep: To use programs, install rdesktop on the Ubuntu PC. [18:15] alsamixer is not showing any errors [18:15] Vegancheesesteak: This depends on the umask you use, and the umask ftpd is using. [18:15] grawity:rdesktop on ubuntu and on windows?? [18:15] Problem - My PC locks up, and I can't recover, I have to manually reboot. The only thing I can think of that is in common in all the lockups is there is sound playing, but the lockups happen intermittently. I have not found anything revealing in logs, but I may be looking in the wrong place. The lockup has an infinitely repeating half-second clip of sound. At the crash, caps lock and num lock are non-responsive. memtest reported OK.

[18:16] Any one can help me with installing ubuntu on my netbook? I cannot make a usb boot drive for installation. The imagewriter is always giving me error8 . I tried formatting the pen disk and tried rebooting my comp [18:16] a1fa, in that case could you find a pastebin (http://paste.ubuntu.com/) and post the results of the command lspci -vv [18:16] spree>At least you know that it's not a RAM issue. [18:16] Vegancheesesteak: Similarly, umask 077 results in 0600 for files and 0700 for directories. [18:17] Vegancheesesteak: All the numbers are in octal, by the way. [18:17] one sec [18:17] Sidewinder1, what should i do next? [18:17] i have issues viewing some flash sites. is it because i use macbookpro (64bit) with ubuntu 32bit? [18:17] vavar, that filename comes from an environment variable, I'm not sure if there's any easy way to update the processes involved with the new dbus-socket path. iirc [18:17] * spree regrets running 64 bit ubuntu, nothing but problems [18:17] http://paste.ubuntu.com/269893/ [18:18] owen1, that should not cause problems. What sorts of problems do you have? [18:18] i already have installed rdesktop on ubuntu,wat next. How to connect to my windows deskop please [18:18] owen1: no, flash on ubuntu doesn't work well. also you might have the wrong flash version. the nonfree version works better. [18:18] well, flash doesn't work well in 64 bit particularly [18:18] Vegancheesesteak: The default umask for normal logins is set in /etc/login.defs (but it's often overriden by /etc/profile or even ~/.profile) === BackTrack4 is now known as abracadabra [18:19] Flash also sucks really === tonii_ is now known as tonii [18:19] grawity: thank you. so 0750 is 027? [18:19] i already have installed rdesktop on ubuntu,wat next. How to connect to my windows deskop please help [18:19] twright: i can see youtube but not others such as: http://www.slideshare.net/kattekrab/joy-of-inkscape-at-stixcamp or http://www.infoq.com/presentations/scaling-up-by-scaling-down [18:19] spree: 32bit also not. and it takes the soundcard exclusively to itself. [18:19] Vegancheesesteak: Yep.
